Manchester's A Lovely Weekend festival also returns

The Cambridge Comedy Garden is returning in July with a lineup that includes some of the biggest names on the British comedy circuit, including Jack Dee, Ross Noble, Dylan Moran and Sara Pascoe. 

Also on the bill in the big top erected in Parker's Piece from July 8 to 12 are Chris McCausland,  Tom Allen and David O’Doherty – plus some newer names.

The festival is now in its third year, and is part of the wider Comedy Gardens series run across the UK by siblings Will Briggs and Cass Randolph.

'We cannot wait to bring this incredible bill to Cambridge this summer,' said Briggs. 'Last year's festival was so much fun, and this year audiences are in for such a treat.’
