Those of you with a love for comedy and those who enjoy seeing emerging new talent will be delighted to welcome the brand new April Fools Festival.
Created and curated by rising physical comedy star Luke Rollason, he put together the festival to help newer performers find their audiences.
Luke says “Whilst on break from live performance in order to concentrate on becoming famous, I’ve been working on creating opportunities for new unusual comedians. Programming a festival turned out to be way, way harder than I thought.”
“April Fools Festival celebrates the most creative new voices in the biz, featuring their most madly ambitious new ideas.”
A two-day celebration of the most creative new voices in comedy today, April Fools features rising stars of the alternative scene running riot at the OSO, situated by the beautiful Barnes Pond in London.
It’s a comedy festival with dinosaur hunters, silent bank robberies, tiny big tops, bursting bodices and a slapstick battle royale… not to mention a fête of surreal stalls and stupid sports outdoors and in the theatre foyer.
Curated in association with OSO Arts Centre.
