Bridget Christie: Replacement for former St Aidan’s CE High School, Harrogate head girl Maisie Adam at York Comedy Festival
HARROGATE comedian Maisie Adam will no longer be playing the inaugural York Comedy Festival on July 6. The reason: “Unforeseen circumstances”.
Into her slot on Futuresound Group’s Sunday fun day bill at York Museum Gardens steps trailblazing Bridget Christie, Gloucester-born subversive stand-up, actor, Taskmaster, Have I Got News for You and QI participant and writer and star of BAFTA-nominated Channel 4 comedy-drama The Change.
Expect a stream-of-consciousness style, physical comedy, political rants and astute observation of the everyday.
More than 90 per cent of tickets have sold for the 2.30pm to 7.30pm line-up topped by Dara Ó Briain and Katherine Ryan. Angelos Epithemiou, Joel Dommett, Vittorio Angelone, Clinton Baptiste and Scott Bennett feature too, hosted by “the fabulous” Stephen Bailey.
Tickets are on sale at york-comedy-festival.com.
