Bristolians flock to buy tickets for the return of Bristol Comedy Garden
Bristol Comedy Garden has announced individual lineups for its return to Queen Square this summer, following two years of open-air events on the Downs.
From 14-18 June, eight shows will be taking place under the big top, each with an MC and four acts on the bill.
It’s a chance to see some of the biggest stars in UK comedy under one roof, as well as frequenting the street food and drink vendors dotted around the historic square.
