According to his website, Bill, who hails from the West Country began his entertainment career as a musician but soon felt the urge to 'slip jokes into the music.'

In the end it was a gig by poet John Hegley which finally inspired him to fuse the music, jokes and theatricality and become a stand-up comedian.

Headlining the Big Top stage on Sunday at Wychwood will be songstress Lucy Rose - hailed as one of the brightest stars to emerge on the British music scene in recent years.

Indie-folk-five-piece Eliza and the Bear have all been confirmed to appear on the Smashing blouse stage in the Big Top over the course of the weekend.

Cementing Wychwood's position as the perfect family weekend away, CBeebies Ben Faulks a.k.a Mr Bloom will bring something for the 'tiddlers' when he brings his unmissable TV show to life live on stage while the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Telling Centre will return once again with their extensive workshop and activity programme.

Weekend and day tickets are on sale now and under-10s go free.
