Sue H reviewed William Stone & Dan Harding which happened on 8:45pm on Thu 4th Jun 2026.

Absolutely loved this show, so many laugh out loud moments. Two very different comedians but complemented each other perfectly. Technical difficulties meant William could not perform his prepared show, but he still pulled out 30mins of beautifully crafted comedy. One of the best shows of the festival for me!
