| Penkridge and District Round Table will be hosting a Comedy Night at the Penkridge Peace Memorial Hall on Saturday 9th May. The event is being repeated by popular demand owing to its immense success each year since it was first staged back in 2004, having now achieved its status as a regular and much loved annual event in the village social calendar. This year's format will remain similar to that of previous years, to include 2 top comedians - Martin Gold and Oliver. The event includes a fish and chip supper, disco and a licensed bar. The cost of a ticket for the night is £12.50 (same as last year) -excellent value for money, and a great night out for all. All proceeds as ever will go to help local good causes. Round Table's Andy Richardson - heading up the team organising the event stated... "This has been one of the most successful and well patronised events we have organised in recent years, where else can you get live entertainment delivered by 2 top comedians, a traditional fish & chip supper, disco, raffle and much more for a little over a tenner these days? - regular Comedy Night attendees have requested we make this a firm fixture, and many have been requesting tickets since the Christmas holidays". Headlining act Martin Gold will be no stranger to comedy devotees. Martin has a natural ability to make people laugh, which quickly guaranteed his progression into stand-up comedy from an early age - Soon becoming a huge hit with theatre and television audiences throughout the country. Martin's talent was subsequently recognised by the Variety Club (GB) when they named him 'comedian of the year' 2 years running. Piers Morgan once said of Martin... "Martin had to follow me and Alec Stewart, which is obviously a bit like singing after Sinatra and Dean Martin. It was midnight before he got on, but he turned it round brilliantly and had a bunch of drunk cynics laughing their heads off. I thought his act was sharp and very funny." Oliver from Sky TV's Stand & Deliver is one of the best of today's comedians..now in his 33rd year as a professional entertainer, Oliver has been voted comedian of the year on several occasions. Was once number 1 in the German hit parade back in the 80's with a rendition of the Tom Jones classic 'the green green grass of home', and is renowned for his unique mix of stand-up comedy, zany impressions and daft humour. The event is strictly limited to a capacity of 160 people, entry is by ticket only. Doors open at 7.00pm, and the event will continue until late with a disco afterwards. Those interested in reserving tickets should contact Andy on 01785 716232 at the earliest opportunity in order to avoid disappointment. | |
