Organisers have confirmed the third comedy headliner for this summer’s Standon Calling festival in Hertfordshire.

Joining the comedy bill at Standon Lordship in the Hertfordshire countryside this July will be Andrew Maxwell.

The Irish stand-up joins the previously announced comedy headliners Russell Kane and Angela Barnes for the festival's biggest laughs line-up to date.

Andrew has won Time Out's Best Stand-up, Chortle's Best Contribution To Live Comedy, Best Irish Comedian and voices MTV's hit show Ex On The Beach.

You will also have seen him on Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Celebrity Juice and Mock The Week.

Also appearing at Standon over the weekend of Thursday, July 25 to Sunday, July 28 are Abandoman, Jen Brister, Sarah Keyworth, Amy Gledhill, Jacob Hawley and Cally Beaton.

Also announced today is Eshaan Akbar, a new sensation on the comedy circuit whose Prophet Like Its Hot show at the Edinburgh Fringe truly marked the arrival of a future star, one who is bound to go down a treat at Standon Calling this summer.

Thanyia Moore has also been added to the side-splitting Standon Calling 2019 comedy programme.

She said: "I'm so excited to play Standon Calling this year, such an amazing bunch of brilliant women on the line-up too!"
