The final headliner coming to London for this summer's Great Outdoors Comedy Festival has been revealed.

Tourism London announced on Tuesday comedian and actor Tom Segura will take the stage in Harris Park on the second day of the three day festival slated for July 19, 20, and 21. Segura is known for his Netflix specials Completely Normal, Mostly Stories, Disgraceful, Ball Hog and 2023’s Sledgehammer. He is also a podcast host and New York Times bestselling author.

Joining Segura on the Saturday lineup are MAD TV alumni and host of the Tiger Belly and Bad Friends podcast Bobby Lee and comedian, actor and producer Jessica Kirson.

Bill Burr, Nate Bargatze, Gerry Dee, and Derrick Stroup were previously announced as the headliners for the Friday and Sunday performances. Bargatze, Dee, and Stroup will take the stage on Friday, while Burr will close out the festival on Sunday.

This is the first year the festival known for its extensive and varied lineup has been held in London. Since its inception in 2021, it has raised more than $350,000 for charities across Canada.
