Late Night Comedy line up for 2024 has been announced

Posted on by Peter Chegwyn

We’re delighted to say that our late night comedy is returning to Wickham Festival this summer from Thursday through to Saturday. The comedy will start after music on the main stages finishes at 23.00. There’s also late-night storytelling and other entertainment until the arena closes at 01.00.

This year we’ve got some very diverse acts, the line up reads like this:

Thursday:
Julian Deane
Stefano Paolini
Tom Deacon (MC)

Friday:
Jenny Collier
Jarred Christmas
Tom Deacon (MC)

Saturday:
Andrew White
Max Fulham
Mike Cox (MC)

Please visit late night comedy line up page for further details.  We always struggle to find clips of any comedian with clean language but thankfully this year we have Stefano Paolini who was a semi-finalist in Britain’s Got Talent in 2022.

Also we have Max Fulham who has appeared a couple of times on the revival of the classic kids show ‘Crackerjack!’
