He’ll have audiences keeling over with his distinctive take on race, sexuality and politics. 

Headlining on Sunday is stand-up comedian, actor and performance poet, Phil Jupitus. The former team captain of 19 years on TV music quiz show Never Mind the Buzzcocks, has a career-long connection with the music industry. 

From touring universities supporting bands such as Billy Bragg, the Style Council and The Housemartins, to DJ-ing at Glastonbury, Jupitus is the perfect fit for Tramlines.

Shappi Khorsandi established a name for herself in 2006 with a sell-out Edinburgh show, Asylum Speaker. Khorsandi has since travelled to all corners of the globe and is a regular on TV panel shows.
