Bristol Comedy Garden 2020: lineup announced
Bristol Comedy Garden has announced its return to Queen Square (June 3-7 2020) for a ninth instalment – and the lineup looks as packed as ever.
This year’s highlights include sets from Dara Ó Briain, one of the most recognisable faces on British TV, and the masterfully understated Simon Amstell. You can also catch The Last Leg’s Josh Widdicombe, QI’s resident dunderhead Alan Davies, multi-award-winning comedian and author Sara Pascoe, grouchy Deep South stand-up legend Rich Hall, ventriloquist and British Comedy Award winner Nina Conti, Bristol-raised cerebral comedy hero Mark Watson, German Comedy Ambassador Henning Wehn and frankly too many more to mention.

Soem well-established Comedy Garden favourites make a return to the green grass of Queen Square, including Edinburgh Comedy Award winner (and another son of Bristol) John Robins, one-liner king Milton Jones, lo-fi synth-totin’ wonder David O’Doherty, the brilliant Suzi Ruffell, fast-rising Sarah Keyworth and more.
