Bill Bailey has been named as one of the headline acts for this season's Altitude comedy festival in Mayrhofen. Stand up extraordinaire, erstwhile Bill Bailey comedy partner and 8 Out Of 10 Cats team captain, Sean Lock is another headliner.
"Every year when we start putting our line-up together, I pull out my trusty little black boot of clowns and maniacs and go straight to B for Bailey, and finally, after all these years, he's said yes! Bill Bailey at Altitude. COME ON! Add to that the genius of Sean Lock and you're already well on the way to a legendary year. I couldn't be more excited," said Altitude's joint founder, comedian Andrew Maxwell (pictured above).
The Altitude Comedy Festival will run from 23rd-27th March and as always will offer the chance to catch some of the very biggest names in some of Europe's most charming and intimate venues.
Also on the bill will be the other altitude festival founder, Marcus Brigstocke, along with numerous acts including The Boy with Tape on his Face, Miss Behave's Gameshow, plus after missing last year, Abandoman are definitely back this year, along with Altitude favourite German Michael Mittermeier.
New to the line-up are two Altitude virgins - Mock the Week regular and Bethnal Green's sassiest lady - Gina Yashere, and Live at the Apollo and Stand Up for the Week funny man Simon Evans. And there are many other well known names on the bill..
