Top comedy and music for Big Issue stage at RockNess

The organisers of RockNess has promised that the Howard’s End Pub, in association with The Big Issue, will have revellers laughing into their real ale this weekend with three hours of top comedy on Saturday and Sunday.

Jim King said: “It’s going to be really great. From 3pm till 6pm we’ll have a load of really exciting Scottish comedians on stage.”

And keeping an eye on such new talent as Scottish Comedian of the Year Scott Agnew, magician/comic Chris Cox and “the Indian Chris Rock” Papa CJ, will be star Kevin Bridges.

“He’s going to be playing one of the main arenas,” said King, “but Kevin’s unofficial hang out is going to be on the north end of the Howard’s End bar.”

Top bands such as Plan B, the Maccabees and Twin Atlantic have told The Big Issue they’d love to call by, so keep an eye out for surprise guests.

For the first time, you will also be able to get your Big Issue onsite from our vendors at the Howard’s End Pub.

King said he was delighted to welcome people who are turning their lives around with the help of the Big Issue along to RockNess.

“We really support The Big Issue and the work it has done over the many years it’s been running,” he added. “The Howard’s End is a place to sit down and chill, what better way to do that than with your copy of The Big Issue?”
