Those visiting the Taste of Comedy site will also be able to buy and drink alcohol, making it the ultimate festival pregame spot or even somewhere to hang out once the shows are over.
Alongside sips and snacks, the comedy festival will have plenty of live entertainment such as street performers, comedians, and more.
So if you’re festival-bound or simply want another quick food festival visit before the summer is out, this will be the place to be.
