The first ever Brighton Comedy Garden will take place this summer with five nights of stand-up comedy presented in a boutique festival in the glorious surroundings of Preston Park from 19 - 23 June.
Comedy luminaries such as Alan Davies, multi-award winning Live At The Apollo star Sara Pascoe, the hilariously surreal 8 Out Of 10 Cats team captain Sean Lock and host of Channel 4’s groundbreaking The Last Leg Adam Hills plus many more will be taking to the stage each night.

Bath Comedy Festival has launched its official programme.
The launch at the Bill Murray pub in London featured performances by Rory Bremner, Jess Robinson and Marcel Lucont, with puns aplenty from Darren Walsh and international stand-up from Romanian Radu Isac and Italian Luca Cupani.
What is the new six-part Netflix series from Ricky Gervais? After Life is certainly funny but it is no sitcom. There is too much going on here that isn't funny to file it snugly under that genre. It's not that safety net catch-all "comedy drama" either though. It's something totally unique. It deserves a category of its own.
John Shuttleworth will be appearing at the National Portrait Gallery in London on May 24 for an hour of music, chat and clips from the acclaimed movie It’s Nice Up North filmed by Martin Parr.
Shuttleworth is the creation of Graham Fellows. He starred in the hit series 500 Bus Stops on BBC2 as well as Celebrity Antiques Roadshow, Pointless and most recently, Count Arthur Strong, all on BBC1. His radio series, The Shuttleworths, is the 10th Best Radio Comedy Series Ever (source Radio Times 2019).
8 Out of 10 Cats is returning to screens for a brand new 10-part series on E4 on Sundays at 9pm from March 24.

Rufus Jones is not stupid. When I tweeted a link to the trailer for his new series Home and said it was about a family finding a Syrian refugee in the back of their Audi in Dorking some wags (hat tips to journalist Gavin Martin and promoter Toby Jones) responded by suggesting it sounded like a live action Paddington. The thought had clearly already occurred to Jones when he was writing Home as he makes the same pre-emptive gag in the very first episode.
Writer Lisa McGee's Derry Girls are back for a second series and the laughs start pretty quickly. In an attempt to bridge the divide between the local Catholics and Protestants they are going on a Friends Across The Barricade trip/meet-up with boys from the local Protestant school. Now just settle back and watch the fun.
So follow that. After the seismic success of the first series of Fleabag the action picks up 371 days and some hours later, with the family gathered for an important celebratory dinner. But this is Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag, it's never going to be an uneventful meal is it, as an early scene in which a bloody nose is wiped makes abundantly clear.
