The first ever Roundhouse Comedy Festival runs from August 5-23 with an incredible slate of top stand-ups at the legendary Chalk Farm venue.
There's podcasts such as Nobody Panic, work in progress from the likes of Sophie Duker, full sets including Aussie oddball Josh Glanc, comedy improv with The Free Association, a workshop on comedy for cabaret performers, and drag king comedy.
So while everyone else treks north to Edinburgh for their belly laughs, here's five events to look forward to at the Roundhouse fun fest, which is run in association with Berks Nest.
Comedy Gala with Dylan Moran, Sindhu Vee, Suzi Ruffell, Nish Kumar, Reggie Watts, August 9.
There are four comedy galas throughout the festival which offer top value for money with stellar line-ups. The opening gala on August 5 features Rose Matafeo, Lolly Adefope and Kiri Pritchard-McLean, then on August 9 it's the turn of Black Books veteran Moran, St John's Wood comic Sindhu Vee, Hold the Front Page star Kumar, and the multi-talented Watts. Even better, it's hosted by Ruffell, one of the funniest women on the circuit.
James Acaster Heckler's Welcome, August 19, 20, 21
Tickets for one half of the Off Menu podcast's new stand up show have sold out already, but you can join the waiting list to hear what the panel show regular has to say, and whether he really doesn't mind if the audience chips in.
Katherine Ryan and Friends with London Gay Men's Chorus, August 17.
The star of sit-coms, panel shows and just about everything else filmed her six-part Amazon Prime series Backstage with Katherine Ryan at the Roundhouse. She returns to the venue with friends Stephen Bailey and Michelle De Swarte, with music courtesy of the all conquering London Gay Men's Chorus.
Hosted by Motherland and Live at the Apollo comic Jessica Foteskew, the podcast about where eating happens and people being funny about eating all at the same time features panel show regular and all round top funnyman Joe Lycett. Bring your own snacks.
