Lock the doors... it's time for another Fordy's lock in!

Last year's late night hit show is back with more off-the-cuff banter and buffoonery, with some of the best acts of the fringe.

Last year, guests that dropped in for a pint of their chosen tipple included Tim Vine, Sarah Millican, Jon Richardson, Richard Bacon, Paul Sinha, Lloyd Langford, Pappy's, Rob Rouse, Dan Atkinson, Carl Donnelly, Seymour Mace, Elis James, Mick Ferry, John Robins, Seann Walsh, Charlie Baker and loads more.

Hosted by Matt Forde (TalkSport, BBC 6 Music & BBC 5 Live) Fordy's Lock In is a late night show recreating the feel of a Lock In; the banter, drinking & sillyness, the likes of which you'll not see anywhere else on the fringe. The show gives the audience the opportunity to see acts as they never usually see them, swapping stories and chat on everything from their favourite drunken business idea that never seems as good the following morning, to those tricks and skills that they only perform when around mates in the pub. Come and have a drink and watch your favourite comedians swapping the sorts of stories they don't usually tell on stage and getting into a right old state doing it.

"A format which can showcase the talents of comedians who are at the top of their game... I thoroughly enjoyed myself and, had I the time, money and a more forgiving body clock, I'd become a regular at this particular lock-in." ***** One4Review
