THE biggest-ever comedy lineup is coming aboard HMS Bestival this weekend.

Bestival’s tenth birthday spectacular is not just about the music.

Alongside cabaret, theatre, performance art and film, the cream of comics and clowns will be on deck, serving up side-splitting shenanigans all weekend long.

Among a host of top name stand-ups, the King of the One-liner Milton Jones, pictured right, will be joining the party at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight.

A regular on Mock the Week, Milton has appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, Live At The Apollo and has headlined Dave’s One Night Stand. His Lion Whisperer live tour played to over 100,000 people in 2011 and his 2013 tour, On The Road, is set to play to more.

Marcus Brigstocke, pictured far right, the master of satirical comedy, will also be on hand to present The Policy Unit. The greatest minds in modern Britain (clowns, jesters and jokeslingers) are invited to solve all the problems of modern life. There is no issue too small, no problem too great for the Policy Unit.

Defence, health, justice, society, Michael Gove and what's to be done about UKIP... Where The Early Edition sought to undermine, The Policy Unit will heal.

Porky the Poet was Phill Jupitus’ fiery alter-ego that raged against oppression in the mid 80s. Now he’s back for Bestival.

Regular Andrew Maxwell is renowned for his cutting-edge comedy and intrepid social commentary. A double Edin-burgh Comedy Award nominee (2007 & 2011) and star of Sky TV’s John Bishop’s Only Joking and BBC’s Live At The Apollo, he’s back on the bill.

Daniel Sloss, the youngest stand-up ever to perform a solo season in the West End, is set to impress, alongside super-hot improve rap-duo Abandoman. Don’t miss Terry Alderton, Jarred Christmas, Craig Campbell, Tony Law and Tom Thum.

Bestival curator Rob da Bank told the Daily Echo: “There are squillions of different ways of enjoying Bestival; if your eardrums are feeling a bit weary and you’re feeling a bit jaded, head down to our ace comedy tent which, as ever, has a selection of the best gagsters in the world performing”.

Bestival is about to sell out. The final few tickets are available from bestival.net.
