Cambridge University’s infamous and talented comedy group hit the Arts Theatre for two nights only
Founded in 1880 and counting comedy greats including John Cleese, Eric Idle, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie amongst its alumni, Cambridge Footlights are a cut above your usual student comedy troupe. In fact, the group is regarded as something of a finishing school for the cream of British comic entertainers – so you can guarantee that the pressure is on for each new crop undergrads preparing to tread the hallowed boards. Invariably though, they more than live up to expectations, delighting audiences with their off-beat sketches, skits, stand-up and songs. 2015 saw the group enjoy sell-out success after sell-out success, and now they’re bringing two dates, bursting with new material, to the Cambridge Arts Theatre. Catch them on 28 February and 6 March, tickets are £13-£18.
