We totally love comedy at Camp Bestival
and we’ve always made sure we’ve given you the best that the comedy
circuit has to offer and this year is no exception! We’ve got laughs
aplenty for all ages in our side-splitting line-up of top drawer comics
who will be joining our previously announced comedy headliner Jimmy Carr at Lulworth Castle this July 26-29.
For this one Rob da Bank would like to introduce Camp Bestival Comedy Guru, Get Comedy’s Brett Vincent who says: “Once
again Camp Bestival has a stellar line-up of comedians over the weekend
from some of the best emerging talent on the comedy circuit to famous
TV names and the beat-boxing noise maker legend that is Michael Winslow.
We’re also very proud to be the only music
festival this year and possibly ever to host the biggest face in comedy
(literally) Jimmy Carr. We also have dedicated comedy shows for kids
with the best kids comedy show at the Edinburgh Festival last year… The
Adventurers Club and now firmly rooted resident at Camp Bestival –
Comedy Club 4 Kids. My top picks would be… Benny Boot and Ian Stone on
Friday, Rufus Hound hosting on Saturday, Andrew Maxwell followed by
Early Edition and then Michael Winslow on the Sunday and of course Jimmy
who is closing the Festival late Sunday night….”
We’re delighted that Police Academy legend and ‘Man of 10,000 Voices’, Michael Winslow
will be wowing the crowds at this year’s Camp Bestival. An utter genius
who does the seemingly impossible with just his voice, anyone who saw
Michael at last year’s Camp Bestival knows they’re in for an
unbelievable
treat! We’ll also have Cheryl Cole impersonator extraordinaire Rufus Hound
who will be joining us on the Jurassic coast to unleash his
moustachioed comedy mayhem. Known for his turns on Celebrity Juice and
Argumental, Rufus is a master of his art and one not to miss, plus we’ll
have a high octane outing from Camp Bestival favourite Andrew Maxwell who knows something extremely funny about everything.
Those with a satirical bent will very pleased to know that the Early Edition will be returning to Camp Bestival once again. A live comedy panel show hosted by Marcus Brigstocke and Andre Vincent,
The Early Edition tears into the tabloids, lambasts the broadsheets,
ridicules the naysayers, unravels the spin and pooh-poohs the pomposity
of headline print.
Also adding to our festival frivolities will be the edgy and
provocative Ian Stone who was recently voted one of Britain’s top ten stand ups by the Independent, Ben Norris who you may have seen recently on Mock the Week, Andre Vincent who once opened for Bob Hope and played himself on Byker Grove and Benny Boot
who was by far the stand out performer at the Altitude Festival in
Austria this year with our moustachioed friend Rufus Hound commenting: “Benny Boot offers something unique. I'm not sure exactly what it is, as I couldn't concentrate - I was laughing too damn hard!”
And there will be top turns from Joel Dommett
who was a regular on E4’s Skins, has appeared on Russell Howards Good
News and can now be seen daily on MTV reading the news, Camp Bestival
regular Eric Lampaert who you’ll know from the TV channel VIVA and who is T4’s rising
star of 2012, Paul McCaffrey, who at the time of writing this press release was on Russell Howards Good News this week, George Egg
who over the years has won legions of fans with his oversized suitcase
of props, fantastic songs and who is one of the only comedians who is
described as a cross between alternative stand-up and music hall variety
and ex-Labour Party stalker Matt Forde who currently has his own 5Live show and is regular on Jon Richardson’s and Russell Howard’s radio shows.
It’s not all grown up comedy capers at Camp Bestival though there’s plenty of hilarity for the kids too, including Comedy Club 4 Kids with regular compere Tiernan Douieb
which is back for the third year running. Cracking entertainment for
the young’uns Comedy Club 4 Kids is comedians doing what they do best
but without the
rude bits! And brand new to Camp Bestival this year is The Adventurers Club with Tim Fitzhigham.
A smash hit sell-out kid’s show from the Edinburgh Fringe the
Adventurers Club is off on a trip doomed to failure. Make sure you catch
this award winning show for an afternoon of sheer hilarious adventure!
We’re really pushing the boat out for our fifth Camp Bestival with incredible music from Happy
Mondays, Hot Chip, Kool and the Gang, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers, Rolf
Harris, Rizzle Kicks, Mr Tumble, The Gruffalo, Dick and Dom and Shrek the Musical plus arty escapades from The Tate, a literary whirlwind of talks, spoken word and poetry at the East Lulworth Literary Institute, amazing food and 100s of free things for kids to do.
And
we’ve still got more marvellous treats up our sleeves to let you know
about but tickets are selling like hot cakes so if you want to join us
for a fantasy festi-holiday larks make sure you get in there quick! And
