Comedians signed up for Reading Festival

-

MORE names have been added to the line-up for this year’s Reading Festival.

Comedians Simon Amstell, Bill

Bailey and Katherine Ryan will take to the Alternativ­e Stage across the festival weekend, which takes place from August 25 to 27.

Having found fame as the host of Popworld and Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Simon Amstel (pictured above right) has continued his career writing and starring in the critically acclaimed television series, Grandma’s House, and writing and directing his feature film Carnage, which premiered on BBC iPlayer in March.

Unparallel­ed and undeniable, his set at Reading Festival will be as thoughtpro­voking as it will be hilarious, and sits as a true weekend highlight.

Following his festival stealing performanc­e last year, multi-award winning stand-up Bill Bailey will be returning in 2017 with his musical virtuosity, surreal tangents, and trademark intelligen­ce.

With plenty of political fuel from this year already, his set will tackle philosophy, the pursuit of happiness as well as taking plenty of swipes at the recent election.

Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan (pictured above left) will be bringing her razor-sharp pop culture critique to Reading following on from the success of appearance­s on BBC’s Live at the Apollo, QI, ITV’s The Jonathan Ross Show and Channel 4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats.

Joining them over the bank holiday weekend are Comedy Central favourite Seann Walsh; Tape Face with his unique prop-lead performanc­e; viral political sensation Jonathan Pie; Iain Stirling, who will join the festival fresh from a third series narrating TV ratings hit

Love Island; and the spectacula­r sight of the one and only Piff The Magic Dragon.
