Harriet Kemsley: Edinburgh Fringe 2015 interview

It's no exaggeration to say Harriet Kemsley is one of our favourite comedians in the world today. We've long been impressed by her, but in the past year she has excelled herself to create a show that looks to bring together all of her incredible comedic attributes: a positive energy, an endearing scattiness, kitchen sink silliness and an eye for poignancy. This will be one of the highlights of the Fringe.

UK's first Vegan Comedy Festival announced

Dig out your tofu jokes, stand by with quinoa quips, next month the UK's first Vegan Comedy Festival will open in Brighton. Twenty comedians will appear over the course of the two-day event, every one of them vegan. The comedy festival is an off-shoot of VegfestUK, a celebration of all things vegan - cookery demonstrations, food stalls, talks, speed-dating - which is now in its 13th year. The odd vegan stand-up like Sara Pascoe, Lucy Porter or Dave Spikey has appeared at the festival in the past, but this will be the first time there has been a dedicated comedy event. Carl Donnelly, Michael Legge, Andrew O'Neill and Harriet Kemsley are among the established names and up-and-comers who will perform as audiences enjoy vegan beer and hotdogs from the bar.
