Four comedians walk into a library. Each one has opinions about books — strong ones. By the end of the night, the audience gets to decide: what is the Best Book of All Time? And what is the absolute Blurst?The winner gets paraded through the streets on a satin cushion and ceremonially dog-eared by the Mayor. The loser? Banished from the library forever. (Not really. We need all the books we can get.)
Robin Ince is a multi-award-winning comedian, author, broadcaster, and self-confessed bibliomaniac. He co-created and co-hosted BBC Radio 4's The Infinite Monkey Cage with Professor Brian Cox, has toured the world as a stand-up, and written four acclaimed books — including Bibliomaniac, a love letter to books and the places that sell them.
Josie Long was the first woman nominated three times for the Edinburgh Comedy Award. She's performed to sell-out audiences worldwide and appeared on The News Quiz, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 Out of 10 Cats, and Drunk History. In 2023 she published her debut book, Because I Don't Know What You Mean and What You Don't, a collection of short stories.
Edward Tripp is an award-winning, surreal stand-up poet — prop-heavy, provocative, and not quite like anyone else you've seen on a stage.
Chris White is a performer, poet, and the Events Guy here at Exeter Central Library. Founder of Spork! Poetry, multiple slam winner, and the first Riddler in Residence at Exeter Cathedral. He writes about love, ducks, and other wet things. You're in safe hands.
Tickets are available exclusively through the Exeter Corn Exchange Box Office — this is an Exeter Comedy Festival event and cannot be booked directly through the library.
