Two popular Grammy-nominated comedians will be headlining two nights of an outdoor comedy festival coming to London next summer.
Tourism London announced on Tuesday Bill Burr and Nate Bargatze will be part of the star-studded lineup of the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival in Harris Park July 19, 20, and 21.
Bargatze will play the first night of the festival along with Canadian comedian and producer Gerry Dee. Burr, who has been named one of Rolling Stone’s ‘50 Best Stand-Up Comics Of All Time’, will take the stage on the final night. The lineup for the second night of the three day festival has not yet been announced.
While the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival has previously been held in other cities across North America, next year will mark the first time it has come to London. The festival is known for its extensive and varied lineup and strives to create a diverse, inclusive and safe experience that celebrates and features all forms of performance comedy, from local emerging acts to superstars.
Since its inception in 2021, the festival has raised more than $350,000 for charities across Canada.
Tickets for the festival go on sale online this Friday at 10 a.m. However, Londoners have a chance to purchase tickets a day in advance, using presale code "LONDON". The presale code is being provided by Tourism London and is valid from 10 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Thursday.
