Atic Banbury will have comedians on stage constantly from 6pm on Thursday, March 29, until 6pm on Monday, April 2 - 96 hours of stand-up comedy.

A range of comedians are booked for the five-day extravaganza, from up-and-coming locals to well-known stand ups from television panel shows and Live at the Apollo.
Guinness World Records has lots of rules the Butchers Row bar must adhere to, including needing at least 10 people in the audience at all times.
"This is where the community comes in because filling it at prime times will be easy but the early hours of the morning and late nights will be harder," Harry said.
