Up for grabs

If your punditry grabs our attention and the groans echo out of Marston, you could come home with:

• A £50 bar tab to spend at the Oxford Blue
• 2 pairs of tickets to the Oxford Comedy Festival (worth £40)


The Oxford Blue on Marston Street is one of our favourite locals, serving up delicious food in the form of their signature pizzas and pots. Find out what staff member and Oxfordshire-based Dad Russell thought on his recent visit.

For Father's Day, the Oxford Blue are running a Hops For Pops promotion, offering a free pint to dads with every main meal. As it's a Sunday they'll also be offering their Ultimate Roasts, featuring locally-sourced meat from Cowley's very own Alder's Butcher. So even if you don't win, you can make it a Father's Day to remember with The Oxford Blue! Find out more on the Oxford Blue's website.



The Oxford Festival Fringe Preview Comedy Festival (Oxford Comedy Festival for short!) is bringing over 50 comedians to venues throughout Oxford this July. Organised by QED Comedy Lab, this is your chance to see big name comedians from shows like Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You and Never Mind the Buzzcocks preview their shows before heading up to Edinburgh in August.

Whether it's the All Killa No Filla podcast (Rachel Fairburn), versatile character comedy (Lorna Shaw), quirky musical comedy and one liners (Tom Taylor) or top-notch absurdist stand up (Glenn Moore), the diversity of acts appearing at the festival guarantees that there will be something your dad will love. Find out more on the Oxford Comedy Festival website.

Please note: all tickets are subject to availability.
