The Pleasance brings a comic twist to the London 2012 Festival with a series of pop-up comedy gigs presented from a narrowboat along the British waterways! A nationwide comedy relay, with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as its destination.

Tall Tales from the Riverbanks is a one-off series of free live comedy gigs staged on the banks of Britain's canals and rivers.

This comedy relay will journey from London to Edinburgh via Oxford, Stone, Manchester and Glasgow, providing a showcase for Britain's comedy talent as they explore the weird and wonderful quirks of the waterways.

The finale is a one off event at the world's largest arts festival.

What could possibly go wrong!
