Last year at the Electric Picnic, such was the demand to see the high quality acts, two giant screens were erected either side of the Comedy Tent so all Picnickers were able to join in the laughs.
This year may well see the return of those IMAX like monsters as those pesky Comedy kids have only just gone and booked an even bigger and better line up.
BAFTA nominated for his work on two series of 'Grandma's House' and 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', Simon Amstell makes his Picnic debut.
David O Doherty's Electric Picnic shows are the stuff of legend and this multi-award winning troubadour, will bring his new show to the rolling lawns of Stradbally to the delight of his legion of fans.
Charming and charismatic, Brighton's Seann Walsh is the most frighteningly precocious talent to emerge from the UK comedy scene in years.
Following his appearance on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, this hilarious comic has sold out shows all over the world and is another making a much anticipated Festival debut.
Biggest selling comedian ever of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Jason Byrne's, inspired original brand of high energy intelligent lunacy, ensures there is no other comedian like him.
The anarchaic Rubberbandits are back this year for more mischief.
Blind Boy Boat Club, Mr Chrome and Willie O'DJ are set to rock the tent to its foundations with new songs like the disturbing 'Dad's Best Friend', the hilarious 'Fellas, as well as old school classics such as 'Horse Outside' and 'Roisin'.
Abandoman creates hilarious freestyle songs at lightning speed, based on audience suggestions and its creator and rapper in chief Rob Broderick promises to bring more of the clever, quick-witted, audacious ear to mouth coordination.
Love him or loathe him (and there are many in both camps), it is hard to ignore the impact on the Irish comedy landscape that David McSavage has made.
David's other Savage Eye collaborators John Colleary and Patrick McDonnell will also be appearing over the weekend.
When it comes to the fine art of Improv Comedy, there are no better masters of it than the legendary Steve Frost Improv Allstars.
Steve, Andy Smart, Stevie Steen and Ireland's own Ian Coppinger have travelled the world packing out theatres with their edge of your seat, made up on the spot, improvised shows. They will perform two shows over the weekend and are quite simply unmissable.
Award-winning London based Irish comedian, Aisling Bea is another making her Festival debut and will be familiar to TV audiences from her hilarious turns on Russell Howard's Good News and '8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown' on Channel 4.
Australia's Bec Hill is sure to delight festivalgoers with her distinctive off kilter infectious brand of kookiness, whilst everyone's favourite German social commentator Gunther Grun will no doubt tell us 'Pixie Heads' where we as a nation are going wrong.
It's been quite a year for madcap Comedy sketch trio 'Foil Arms and Hog' and if you have never seen this hugely innovative, awe inspiring group then you are in for a special treat.
The cream of the Irish Comedy circuit crop is well represented with stalwarts like Eleanor Tiernan, Chris Kent, Jarlath Regan, Colm O'Regan, Karl Spain, Colum McDonnell, Fred Cooke and Eric Lalor, all set to keep the heavenly banter and witty badinage going over the weekend.
The Electric Picnic Comedy tent always likes to nurture and help new talent and this year is no exception with Al Porter, Kevin McGarhen (Presenter of the Republic Of Telly), Tomie James, Trevor Browne and Steve Bennett all getting to perform on the biggest stage of their careers so far.
Keeping the whole shebang moving along and ensuring that everyone has a good time is Ireland's favourite adopted Kiwi and MC for the weekend Danny Dowling, whose own previous appearances at EP have entered into comedy folklore.
The Comedy Tent runs from 1.15pm -9pm each day on Saturday Aug 30th and Sunday August 31st
