What we learned when Adam Buxton, Sara Pascoe and Richard Herring played this year's Magners Greenwich Comedy Festival

With the impressive line-up of Adam Buxton, Sara Pascoe, Richard Herring and John Robins, we went along to the grounds of the National Maritime Museum for some cider and, hopefully, some laughs. This is what we learned.

1. It's bigger and better - boasting two stages, an enormous line up (the likes of Reginald D Hunter, Rich Hall, Bridget Christie, Omid Djalili and David O'Doherty play this year as well) and a faux orchard with bars, food stalls and live music, the 2015 edition of the festival is bigger and better than ever. Just remember - as the somewhat overzealous advertising slogan adorning one of the bars goes - to grab a Magners now.

2. The food was VERY posh - with stalls selling yakitori chicken skewers, pumpkin, goats cheese and spinach pasta and duck wraps with avocado and peanuts, it wasn't exactly the burgers and hot dogs approach you might expect. It was priced accordingly, but was very tasty.

3. And so were the toilets - Posh, not tasty, which is always nice.

4. Two of the comedians who lined up live locally - both compère John Robins and Sara Pascoe live in Lewisham, a fact that formed part of both of their acts.

Robins, originally from Bristol, said he ended up living in the borough once named 'least peaceful' in the UK after realising houses in Ealing were a little out of his price range; Pascoe discussed how she once heard God over the tannoy in Lewisham Sainsbury's.

5. Sara Pascoe exemplifies why it's a travesty there aren't more female comedians - whether it's on television panel shows or on the stand-up circuit, there has always been a disappointing lack of women.

Perhaps this is because people think women aren't funny - but Pascoe, an instantly likeable stage presence who tackled everything from house prices (a common theme throughout) to Tony Blair, is an example of why this is absolutely not the case.

6. Richard Herring likes a good rant - whether he was talking about proverbial questions, love, bodily fluids or sex acts, Richard Herring - whose excellent Leicester Square Theatre podcast has enjoyed phenomenal cult success in recent years - certainly wasn't short of enthusiasm.

In a style reminiscent of his old pal Stewart Lee, a tirade about the pronunciation of the word 'potato' particularly stood out.

7. Adam Buxton might be a genius - hooked up to a big screen at the back of the stage, Buxton produced a treasure trove of goodies from his laptop, examining the male and female brains, dinner party questions about Jeremy Corbyn and personalised marketing in his usual innovative style.

Also on the agenda was his tradmark YouTube comments skit, which was side-splittingly hilarious. A brilliant set from one of the most inventive comedians out there.
