For just over two weeks the U.K.’s funniest city becomes the funniest city on the planet as a host of hilarious comedy acts descend on Liverpool between September 18th – October 2nd. Now in its 15th year, Festival organisers The Comedy Trust have announced the full line up.

This year’s comedy bonanza is headlined by Romesh Ranganathan, quickly becoming a household name after his critically acclaimed appearances on Live at The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week, The Apprentice: You’re Fired and many more. Fresh off his hit B.B.C .series Asian Provocateur, the double Fosters Comedy Award nominee brings his latest show Irrational to the Philharmonic on Weds 21st September.
