Festival producer Cass Randolph said: “We are pretty ecstatic about this year’s line-up.
“It’s the first time we’re bringing legends like Alan Davies and Dara O’Briain to the Big Top in Greenwich, and we’re really excited to welcome back comedy maestros Dylan Moran, David O’Doherty, Sara Pascoe and many more festival favourites who have had such amazing shows with us in the past.”
In addition to the main stage action there will be bars, street food and music.
