Comedy has always been the largest element of the Free Festival, and in 2010 this is no exception! We have our most eclectic free Fringe comedy programme ever - featuring over 180 shows

There are new and established Fringe names joining us for full runs this year.... with shows from former Perrier Nominees, Olivier Award Nominees, Three Weeks Award Winners, Fringe award winners, a founder member of the Comedy Store Players and a couple of faces you'll recognize off of the telly! But the Free Festival isn't just about big names - it's about doing what the Fringe is supposed to do and support new and undiscovered talent, and we also have plenty of that - making sure the Free Festival truly puts the Alternative not only back into the Fringe in 2010, but back into Comedy!
