Soon the funniest month of the year will be upon as September will see the launch of the Liverpool Comedy Festival.

The Festival takes place from 16th September to the 2nd October, during which time you can see some of the nation’s best comedians at the Epstein Theatre.

First up is Jarlath Regan’s Arseways on Sunday, 18th September. As seen on I.T.V.’s Live At The Palladium, Jarlath Regan presents a celebration of screwing up. It’s an ode to making a balls of it, in praise of failing and failing better while flicking the V sign to everyone focused on being perfect. Described by fellow comedian Jason Byrne as “always one of the fastest and funniest shows at the festival,” don’t miss this evening of sublime stand-up.
