CH1 Chester Comedy Festival returns for second year

This summer will see the return of the CH1 Chester Comedy Festival, with household names Daliso Chaponda from Britain?s Got Talent, The Chase star Paul Sinha and star of Mock The Week, Gary Delaney leading the line up to provide a week of entertainment for Cestrians.

Star of the popular 80s sitcom The Young Ones, Alexei Sayle, now known as the Godfather of British alternative comedy, will close the festival in style with his Emmy award winning brand of humour at The Chester Town Hall. This is one of only two planned UK stand up dates in 2019, so offers a unique opportunity to see a legend in comedy.

Organised by CH1ChesterBID, the eight-day event will see 25 acclaimed comedians take to the stage in sixteen of Chester?s most prestigious venues. Taking place between Sunday, June 30, and Sunday, July 7, the festival features stand-up shows, comedy specials and a free film screening event for children at The Grosvenor Museum.

Returning favourites from last year include The Chase star Paul Sinha and star of Have I Got News For You, Jo Caulfied, who both return with brand new shows. They will join award winning character comedian Tom Binns, Irish comedian and TV star Neil Delamere, alongside BGT star Jonny Awsum, Jamie Sutherland, Allyson June Smith and Troy Hawke.
