US legends Dom Irrera, Rich Hall and Lewis Black were among the many who pulled on their shades and enjoyed the rays ahead of what is gearing up to be three days of side-splitting comedy and fun.

"I know that every year we say we have the best line-up ever. But this year, we really have," according to festival spokesman Kev Fitzsimons. "At this point, Saturday night is almost completely sold out. And there are tickets for some of the gigs on Sunday and Monday. Our advice to people is to travel and we'll see what we can do for them.
