The third comedian in the Twestival line-up has now been announced.

Adrian Besozzi is a popular act who has brought the house down at the Quay Comedy nights and also the Winter Gardens. His riotous impressions and Isle of Wight based observations are sure to go down well with the Twestival audience – especially if they’re familiar with his antics behind the bar at the Bonchurch Inn!

Paul and Abigail of Goodleaf Tree Climbing have come up trumps with the latest prize for the Twestival auction – a voucher for £50 to put towards tree climbing, valid until 31 August 2010. It’s enough for two kids or one and a bit adults! Everyone at Twestival HQ is  thrilled that Goodleaf is supporting Twestival and that all funds raised will go to the Island’s own wildlife conservation charity Gift to Nature. The G2N squirrel recently had a go at climbing a tree with the help of Goodleaf. See how he got on here! He went nuts!
