It isn't exactly a music-related story, but it is by the people that got us into Latitude Festival, so I'm feeling a bit like we should cover it. Now how's that for honest reporting? THE OBSERVER take note.

Pimms Summerfest is a five-day comedy festival in London, featuring almost everyone that you actually like off TV, bar Bill Baily and Stephen Fry. And wisely skipping out that Jimmy Carr fella.

Besides the branding all over it this is stella lineup there are actually some really great acts: Jeff Green is brilliant, Richard Herring is smashing - go listen to his podcast, there's Kevin Eldon, Lucy Porter is of course 'lovely', Jo Brand who - according to Wikipedia - is a trained rally driver (I don't believe that for a second). And Robin Ince, a man who doesn't know the meaning of 'have a sit down and a nice cup of tea'.
