We think this being a comedy forum, Phill Jupitus would be the only relevant news we have to mention. If you'd like more information on the festival just visit www.canterburyanifest.com
There are probably more animators on here than Phil Jupitus fans 
Certainly Bagpuss. I'd love him like he hasn't been loved since Emily loved him.

Well don't worry - Emily Firman will be at Anifest!

Maybe a better response with a thread title change and a move to writers discussion? Mods?
Bagpus is a beautifully poignant show.

Bagpus? pus? That's a different show to the one I grew up with.

A quick update, alongside Phill Jupitus we will also be feauring the comedy talents of Emma Kennedy!
Oooooooooooooh. Now you've got me interested!
I know Phill Jupitus is popular, but £25 seems a bit steep. Maybe if he was doing a stand up act, or if there was a meal (ok, for £25 it would have to be a small meal), but as it stands...
I don't know why Phill Jupitus made me think of food...
