Siena Yates, Stuff.co.nz, 29th April 2015UK's first Vegan Comedy Festival announced
Dig out your tofu jokes, stand by with quinoa quips, next month the UK's first Vegan Comedy Festival will open in Brighton. Twenty comedians will appear over the course of the two-day event, every one of them vegan. The comedy festival is an off-shoot of VegfestUK, a celebration of all things vegan - cookery demonstrations, food stalls, talks, speed-dating - which is now in its 13th year. The odd vegan stand-up like Sara Pascoe, Lucy Porter or Dave Spikey has appeared at the festival in the past, but this will be the first time there has been a dedicated comedy event. Carl Donnelly, Michael Legge, Andrew O'Neill and Harriet Kemsley are among the established names and up-and-comers who will perform as audiences enjoy vegan beer and hotdogs from the bar.

Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 20th June 2014Carl Donnelly interview
"For a little while I had some material about the frustrations of being in a relationship that's failing. I think I was in a bad place and it actually sounded quite misogynistic ... As soon as I realised, I got rid of it so it sounded more like I was a dick."
