This place is going to be jammed over the weekend.

As seasoned Electric Picnic revelers are well aware, there’s more to the festival than just music and for many, The Comedy Tent is the highlight of the weekend.

This year’s line-up will see some of the best international acts behind the mic with some stellar comedy on the billing from as far afield as Australia, Canada, England, Scotland and Wales.
