Comments
The Tim Minchin gig has been postponed until September 9. Comedian Mark Watson is stepping in to Tim's shoes and will be the act that closes the festival. Anyone with Tim Minchin tickets can get a refund and of course they are valid for the new date in September.

ReportCongratulations to the Fat Cat Comedy Club who have managed to secure Tim Minchin at a one off show in Bury St Edmunds for their loyal Bury regulars.
All credit for this coup should be given to the Fat Cats alone and not St Eds BC who have failed to recognise the club in any of their PR.
Well done Fat Cats!
