TV comedians Bill Bailey, Russell Kane and David O’Doherty will headline a new three-day comedy festival at Lincoln Castle.

The three-day festival, Comedy Feast, will take place on June 9, 10 and 11, and will showcase food, drink and the best in British comedy.

Bill Bailey, Russell Kane and David O’Doherty will perform alongside rising stars, including Phil Wang, Louisa Omielan and Ivo Graham.

Sunday will also play host to the BBC’s award-winning Horrible Histories Live.

The food line-up will include treats from Honest Burgers, Oli Baba’s, Taiwanese sensation Le Bao, award-winning Crabbieshack and more.

There will also be a host of bars serving craft beer, real ale, cocktails and wine, plus live music and entertainment throughout the weekend.

Andy Ellis, one of the event organisers told The Lincolnite: “The street-food scene in London is huge, we’re bringing the best of the best to Lincoln.

“We’re very passionate about the city and believe it deserves events that stand out on a national level.”

Andy George, also organising the event, added: “World-class comedians like Bill Bailey don’t often appear in Lincoln so it’s a great opportunity to catch them.”

Ben Atkins, who is organising the event, said: “It’s an incredibly exciting concept, from Vietnamese Streetfood to Halloumi Fries to Gin Sorbets to London’s best burger joint – you won’t know where to turn!

“It will be a really nice place to hang out and soak up the incredible atmosphere.”
