The Balham Free Fringe festival returns to The Bedford for its sixth consecutive year, with over 60 hours of totally free comedy shows across three stages.

Saturday has 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Sensation Richard Gadd, Geordie giant Luke Benson and Radio 4 star Abi Roberts, and 15 others. Sunday's line up has 18 shows including James Acaster tour support Stuart Laws and NZ Comedy Festival Best Show Winner Carey Marx. Can't turn your nose up at these lineups.
