The festival is being organised in partnership with Rotherham Council.

Ged Omar, one of the organisers, said: "Along with hosting award winning comedians, some of whom have appeared on television, there will also be a selection of daytime events for people to see or get involved with. These include an exhibition of comedians and jokes at the Coterie Gallery, street performers in the town centre, Riverside Library promoting funny books for adults and children and businesses showing jokes in their windows throughout the duration of the festival."

Other upcoming events in Rotherham town centre include an Easter Fun Day, the return of the Garden Lover's Fayre and Rotherham's Vintage Hop.
