Altitude Comedy Festival is back! Returning to Mayrhofen, Austria once again from March 31^st to April 4^th 2014. There will be a gilt-edged line-up of the comedy world’s top acts and most exciting new stand-ups, all up-close and personal in venues you couldn’t possibly hope to see them at in the UK! 

Altitude Comedy Festival, curator Andrew Maxwell said: “I can’t believe it’s come around so quickly again. I’m so excited I want to be there now! We’ve pulled out all the stops to try and compete with last year’s fantastic line-up and we believe we’ve topped it and then some. Can’t wait to see you there!”

Altitude gives you the opportunity to experience arena-filling comedy giants in the fantastically intimate surrounds of its beautiful venues in Mayrhofen, one of Europe’s most picturesque ski resorts. With an array of restaurants, luxurious hotels and enticing spas that are second to none, the picture postcard resort offers easy access to the entire Zillertal super-ski area, with 639km of piste and 167 lifts and gondolas, making it the ideal location to fuse a schnapps and schnitzel-fuelled ski holiday with one of the world’s top international comedy festivals! 

It’s slopes all day and laughs all night with the biggest and best comedians around at Altitude and that’s what makes it so very special. With some amazing performers due to be announced very soon, they kick off this year’s line-up with  John Bishop who had such an amazing time last year he asked if he could come back!
