The comedians will no doubt be mocking the news on the opening night on May 19, with stand-ups like Zoe Lyons from TV’s hit Mock the Week comedy quiz show, Ria Lina as MC and Hal Cruttenden.

Robin Ince extends his 24-hour Nine Lessons show
It seems that 24 hours just isn’t enough for Robin Ince’s annual celebration of rational and curious thought.
Last weekend the comedian hosted a marathon session of his Nine Lessons And Carols For Socially Distanced People – but couldn’t accommodate all the guests he wanted.
So an extra session has been announced for this session to welcome all those who couldn’t fit in to the original run.
Guests will include physicist Dr Helen Czerski, astronaut Tim Peake, The Ugly Animal Preservation Society with comedians Ria Lina and Elf Lyon, biologist Simon Watt, QI creator John Lloyd, blues singer Femi, statistician Jen Rogers, singer/songwriter Penfriend, marine biologist Helen Scales and more.
