‘Eddie takes to the stage for three unique and historic outdoor gigs Sept 24th, 25th and 26th’
17 Jun 2010
LAUGHS IN THE PARK
EDDIE IZZARD, DYLAN MORAN AND REGINALD D HUNTER. THREE GIANTS OF COMEDY TOGETHER ON THE UK’S FIRST PURPOSE BUILT OUT DOOR STAGE
VERULAMIUM PARK, ST ALBANS
SEPTEMBER 24TH 25TH and 26th 2010
On September 24th 25th and 26th 2010, three of the UK’s best loved comedians
EDDIE IZZARD, DYLAN MORAN and REGINALD D HUNTER will take to the stage together in the glorious surroundings of St Albans Verulamium Park.
For those lucky enough to secure tickets this will be a chance to enjoy one of the very last evenings of the summer in historic style. Tickets for just one of these acts are difficult to come by, but the chance to see all three on the one stage on the one night is a unique, rare and magical experience.
This is history in the making. The three-day event which will take place on the UK’s very first purpose built outdoor comedy platform will take 17,000 man hours to stage. A staggering 66 trucks of equipment will deliver 1,879m square of temporary roads, 2,235m of fencing, 2 miles of cabling, 28,186m of steel pipe (the distance from London to St Albans) 167 portable toilets, 5361 amps of power, 471,040 pixels of screen and a 450 man crew in hard hats. (And that’s the equivalent of 41 football teams or 90 five-aside teams, in fact more than the total world cup players put together)
Outside bars and food stalls will set the scene for what promises to be three unforgettable, hilarious shows.

I'll be there on Sept 24th. Debsywebsy, it would be very cool to meet in person, us Izzardites should stick together, maybe meet before the show and perhaps even let Eddie know forum support is there :) I'll be there especially for the show, all the 2560 km from Bucharest :) Eddie's well worth it!

I'm coming all the way from Michigan (3,750 miles)! Wouldn't miss this, but I don't know anyone. If there's a meet-up, I'd be very much for that :) Thanks!

I froze my arse off on Friday night... but it was worth it. Told Eddie to turn the heating up and he said he would if he could! Perhaps in future it might be good to do this a bit earlier... like Summer!! Dylan and Reginald were fab too... Eddie held it all together like the true comedy genius we know he is telling the history of the world from Dinosaurs to Dickens before setting off some cool fireworks with the full moon as a backdrop! :)
