Bars, live music and innovative street food vendors will also add to the square’s festive chaos as they cater to the event’s thousands of comedy fans.
“We’re over the moon to be invited back to Queen Square,” says Comedy Garden producer Cass Briggs. “It’s the perfect setting for the Comedy Garden and we can’t wait to get back to Bristol with this year’s line up. We’ve had so many lovely experiences in Bristol and it’s always a joy when it comes together after all the months of planning.
“I’m really looking forward to acts like Bridget Christie and John Kearns that we haven’t had before, plus Adam Buxton’s David Bowie special is set to be a highlight of the summer.”
Tickets are now on sale, starting at £16.50.
