Comedy
Comedy is right at the heart of your ALSO experience, highly curated, often clever, always entertaining, we also curate our comedy programming to be a proper celebration of it as an art. We curate excellent artists and talents in the field, and love the way it communicates ideas so well, showcases the cleverness of those at the top of their game, with off the record comic moments not seen anywhere else. We deeply encourage our performers to see ALSO as a stage where they don't have to 'play it safe', because our audience embraces the talent on stage and want to have the best time at their shows. It's a powerful combination, and one we have developed through our editions. In short - it's a right laugh.
ALSO25’s offering featured performances from peering into the ever-active mind of Robin Ince, to History's Most Epic Fibs with Athena Kugblenu (BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, The Museum Of Comedy & Loose Ends), a panel exploring Horror & Comedy, Rob Deering put some of our comedians on the spot in his live music-based comedy pop quiz - Beat This!, and Marcel Lucont presented his cult hit Cabaret Fantastique with fabulous guests as part of a wild Friday night soirée at ALSO, with the Dining Tent transformed into your own bistro de Paris. And travel writer, journalist and creator of the cult show Trigger Happy TV, Dom Joly, lead us into the woods and down a metaphorical rabbit hole, showing the world through some alternative lenses in The Conspiracy Tour.
Plus if you wanted to go deeper or start on your own comedic path we had workshops, masterclasses and debates to extend your knowledge, experience and engage with this most entertaining and fascinating of arts that we love so much.
