Spanning a phenomenal weekend of music, arts, food & drink, entertainment and fun for the whole family – Standon Calling 2019 stands as a true culmination of the festival summer with an array of must-see moments and unrivalled experiences all primed for an unforgettable festival experience. Building on its already stellar bill, a trio of new names have now been announced for the festival’s biggest comedy lineup to date.
Saddling up alongside fellow headliners Russell Kane and Angela Barnes is Andrew Maxwell. The beloved Irish favourite has become a true beacon for comedy fans over the past two decades, with hilarious turns across Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Mock The Week and comedy festivals up and down the land. With his infectious sense of mischief prime and centre, his headline comedy set at the festival is ready to make quite the racket as the fields of Standon crack with the sound of laughter. Also announced today is Eshaan Akbar, a new sensation on the comedy circuit whose ‘Prophet Like Its Hot’ show at the Edinburgh Fringe truly marked the arrival of a future star, one who is bound to go down a treat at Standon Calling this summer. Along with Thanyia Moore, bringing her laugh-out-loud takes that have scooped awards for her top-level shows, it cements Standon Calling’s comedy lineup as a powerhouse of rich talent from top to bottom.
Thanyia Moore said:
“I’m so excited to play Standon Calling this year, such an amazing bunch of brilliant women on the line up too!”
