Show Notes
Today Just for Laughs London, the capital’s newest annual comedy festival, starts its takeover of the O2 arena for four days.
It’s the latest spin-off of the huge international event which was first founded 40 years ago in Canada and helped established comedy superstars such as Amy Schumer and Kevin Hart.
But now it’s London’s turn, with Ryan Reynolds, Graham Norton and Katherine Ryan just some of the powerhouse names performing.
Bruce Hills, President of Just for Laughs explains the history of the festival and what the future might hold for it in our city.
