COMEDIAN Jim Bowen is returning to Darwen Library Theatre in spring after two sell-out shows last year.

The former Bullseye host will appear on March 20 from 7.30pm with the successful 'Audience With' format.

Jim, who hosted the Evening Telegraph's Pride of East Lancashire community awards ceremony at Blackburn's King George's Hall, will again delve into his rich personal life for autobiographical material.

Expect topics to include his time on the 'The Comedians', 'Bullseye' and Radio Lancashire which he left in controversial circumstances.

Jim, who lives near Lancaster, may even talk about his childhood when he was adopted by an Accrington family, or when he was a teacher at St Augustine's RC High School in Billington.

He will be supported by Darwen comic Don Banks and local singer James Loynes.

Theatre bosses are advising people to book early as they are expecting a quick sell-out.

Tickets cost £7.50 or £5.50 for concessions. Groups of 10 or more can enter for £5.50 each.

Call the box office on 01254 706006 to book.
