The Last Laugh
23 May 2026
Every festival has its finale. This one has bite.
In a Festival first, Thomas Dixon Centre sets the stage for our ultimate send-off – The Last Laugh. To celebrate, we’re packing the stage with the acts everyone’s talking about (plus a few you’ll be talking about tomorrow).
