The south west's biggest comedy festival had temporarily been moved to the Downs in 2021 and 2022 to host an open-air event to allow more space for social distancing during the Covid years. Organisers confirmed the return of the Big Top tent in Queen Square this summer for June 14-18, 2023.
Previous years have welcomed some of the biggest names in comedy including Dara O'Briain, Nish Kumar and Simon Amstell.
