Bristol Comedy Garden co-founder Cass Randolph said: “We’re very grateful to have been able to transform the festival into the open-air shows on the Downs.

“But it all began for us in Queen Square and we’re beyond excited to be heading back again. It’s like a cathartic full circle following the challenging pandemic years.”

Other comedians already confirmed are Rosie Jones, Dylan Moran, Nina Conti, Alan Davies, Tim Key, Fern Brady, David O’Doherty, Phil Wang and Rachel Parris.

Bristol Comedy Garden presented by heycar returns to Queen Square from June 14 to 18. For tickets and more information, visit www.bristolcomedygarden.co.uk
