CULT COMEDY comes to Blackpool as Little Britain's UK tour visits the Opera House next month.

The BAFTA award-winning creation, peopled by such characters as Daffyd 'the only gay in the village' Thomas, Emily Howard and Vicky Pollard, visits on December 12 at 7.30pm.

Little Britain was created by Matt Lucas and David Walliams. Matt said: "We started out doing live shows together but we haven't toured the UK since 1997, so we're really looking forward to getting back onstage.

"We like to be quite naughty and spontaneous, getting the audience involved. In fact, we used to confiscate people's shoes so beware!"

The show, which scooped Best Comedy at the National TV Awards, is airing on BBC 3 and will transfer to BBC 1 on December 3. Tickets for the Blackpool show, priced £24.50, £22.50 and £15, are available from Blackpool Live on 292029.
