Stand-Up Comedy | Launch Night

This year, we're kicking off the fair with a night of stand-up comedy, food and drink, in our main tent!

Join us for an evening of laughter as we welcome compere Ross Smith, support act Dan Antopolski, and headliner Ben Norris to the stage.

Fuel up with mouth-watering wood-fired pizzas and enjoy a tipple (or two) from Brewing Brothers' onsite bar.

Here's what people have to say:

Ben Norris, Headline

'The term “circuit legend” is overused, but Norris is one of a handful that have been headlining for more than two decades and rarely departs a stage without leaving it torn to shreds in his wake. A master of the craft, this will be an hour of the most polished stand-up you are likely to see.' - GQ Magazine

Dan Antopolski, Support

'His writing is as inventive as ever … Antopolski is not merely deadpan, but almost otherworldly on stage. It’s the perfect platform for his sometimes surreal, often deliberately literal approach to life.'
 - The Guardian.

Ross Smith, Compere

A regular face (and voice) at some of the country's top comedy clubs. If you’re local, you may even recognise him from the well-attended comedy nights at The Brewery Yard Club in Rye!

'Brilliant! - You know an act has confidence in his jokes when he laminates them!'​ - Jason Manford
