Tate Britain's Rude Britannia exhibition is going on tour this Summer & will be coming to a festival near you soon...
At Camp Bestival they'll be some informal lectures & film on the the art of humour, whilst at The Big Chill they'll be all sorts including life drawing inspired by Benny Hill & the like!
