A LEIGH pub has joined the search for the funniest kids' joke.

The Atherleigh Way is taking part in a nationwide Jokestars competition launched by Brewsters for this year's Comic Relief.

Entrants aged 12 and under are invited to jot down their joke on an entry form and post it in the restaurant along with a £1 charity donation. The winner will win a free children's party for 10 friends.

The winning joke from 142 restaurants taking part will go forward into regional finals and at the end of March the national winner will be announced.
