The laughs will be coming in thick and fast this year as we're hosting not just one comedy gala, but two...over two nights!

After Russell Howard headlines our Tuesday night Comedy Club, the one and only Lou Sanders tops the bill the following evening in the Big Top.

Winner of Taskmaster and star of Last One Laughing UK (series 1), Live at the Apollo, QI, Would I Lie to You? and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Lou is one of Britain's most original and brilliantly unpredictable comedians.

Known for her razor-sharp observations, wonderfully chaotic storytelling and utterly unique take on the world, she's become one of the most sought-after names on the UK comedy circuit.

Lou will headline a packed night of comedy alongside a host and support acts still to be announced.

Two nights. Two class acts. Twice the laughs.
