AS THEY UNVEIL A RIB-TICKLING ARRAY OF TOP COMEDIANS WHO WILL BE TAKING THE MIC AT THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL.

What better way to kick off proceedings than in the company of Adam Buxton (he of Adam and Joe fame) and the incredible BUG? 
In a special Thursday night curtain raiser in the Far Out Tent, the acclaimed comedian, writer, video director and YouTube comment wrangler presents the Best of BUG: The Evolution of the Music Video. 

Buxton’s sell-out bi-monthly BFI Southbank show comes to Green Man promising a compendium of outstanding video clips, astounding online nuggets and perhaps a few homemade gems of his own thrown in for good measure…
