Charlie Brooker, Greg Davies and Romesh Ranganathan are among the stars supporting and attending the BBC’s inaugural Comedy Festival which will take place in Newcastle.
Newcastle will be dubbed the BBC’s first City of Comedy and the festival is designed for indie producers, anyone with a new career in TV and comedy, and people looking to break into or advance their career in the industry.
It will consist of a series of events, taking place across three days in May, as an opportunity to explore, reflect on and celebrate comedy in the UK. Black Mirror writer Charlie Brooker and co-writer of The Office, Stephen Merchant, will be among those attending.
