Other comedians confirmed for the festival include Arj Barker (Flight Of The Conchords), Josie Long (If.Comedy Award WINNER), Mark Watson (If.Comedy Award WINNER), Matthew Holness (Garth Marenghi) Perrier Award WINNER, Milton Jones (Perrier Award WINNER), Wil Hodgson (Perrier Award WINNER), Tom Basden (If.Comedy Award WINNER), Pappy's Fun Club (If.Comedy Award Nominee), David O'Doherty (If.Comedy Award Nominee), Simon Munnery (Perrier Award Nominee), Andrew Lawrence (If.Comedy Nominee), Dan Clark (The Mighty Boosh TV Show), Robin Ince (The Book Club), Arnab Chanda, Paul Foot and Greg Fleet.
Says Noel Fielding "The line up is finally coming together with all our favourite bands and comic friends. We can’t wait; it is going to be a blast!"
