'I don't know how what started as a student project got so out of hand!'

Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

The Leicester Comedy Festival is renowned for its celebration of comedy and its success in supporting emerging new talent. This year, the two week comedy extravaganza is also celebrating its 30th Anniversary. What started out as a student project has grown to become one of the biggest comedy festivals in Europe. This year's festival will also be the last time Geoff Rowe - the man who started it - is Festival Director. Geoff explains to Ady how he came to that decision.
