Chippenham Comedy Festival 2019 - Phill Jupitus - Sassy Knack

Chippenham Comedy Festival is absolutely thrilled to have our friend, and absolute legend of alternative comedy, Phill Jupitus, join us to open this year's festival. We could not have asked for a better start to our lineup which we believe is our best ever.

Join stand-up comedian, poet, improviser, and TV stalwart Phill Jupitus for over an hour of tales, laughs and diversions. Watch in delight and/or horror as this experienced funny man drags laughs out of the chaos of his own life. Since last touring Scotland, Phill Jupitus has upped sticks and moved there. In this new show SASSY KNACK, Phill shares yarns and thoughts from his time North of Hadrian’s Wall. Adult themes and situations but delivered childishly.
