This comedy show, brought to the festival by Shaft of Wit, will also feature a showcase of two of their favourite rising stars Louie McLean (Saturday) & Nelson T Gombakomba Jnr (Friday & Saturday) who are both London Comedy Store King Gong Winners and also Winners of Shaft Of Wit's Dirty Dozen Live Comedy Shootout.
