Exclusive: Latitude festival comedy line-up announced
Latitude's full line-up is announced tomorrow but we can exclusively reveal the star comedy names today. Stand-ups include Jason Manford, Alan Davies, Jack Dee and, most excitingly, America's Rob Delaney, who has just made a splash in the UK as co-star of painfully realistic C4 romcom Catastrophe. There is also a strong selection of female comics, with pithy feminist Sara Pascoe, storyteller Sarah Kendall, frighteningly frank Shappi Khorsandi and ventriloquist Nina Conti.

Yasmin Duffin, Leicester Mercury, 6th February 2015DVD review: Nina Conti, Dolly Mixtures

Nic Wright, Giggle Beats, 13th November 2014Jack Whitehall hosts a night of comedy and variety to raise awareness of testicular cancer. It's a nice mix of old and new faces, with the first Men Behaving Badly reunion in 16 years and the return of Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse. Other appearances to look out for include ridiculously good ventriloquist Nina Conti, the weirdly wonderful sketch duo Cardinal Burns, Angelos Epithemiou's excellent study in idiocy and The Mimic's brilliant Terry Mynott. Not a bad lineup.
