Missing out on Edinburgh Festival?
Don't despair, the temperature's rising in Holland Park. A comedy cauldron is set steam when rib-ticklers from Reginald D. Hunter, Jo Brand and Puppetry of the Penis strut their stuff from today.
Flanked by a host of rising stars, get ready for five day's worth of weather-proof gags.
"We've got it covered with our 1000-seater open-sided theatre," says the event's organiser Melvin Benn, director of Festival Republic.
This is their first year in Holland Park, but Melvin is a festival veteran of 20 years, with recent comedy tents pitched at Reading, Leeds and Latitude festivals.
Lucy Porter, who performs on Thursday night, says: "I'll be taking the flight down just as Edinburgh finishes and be up on stage by night for some up-beat, silly and resolutely not depressing improvisations."
With five comedians a night and a roof over your head, nothing should be able to spoil the fun.
Pimms Summerfest is at Holland Park from Wednesday, August 27, until Sunday, August 31. 7.30pm. £22.50 per night.
Call 0871 231 0821.
