STAND-UP comedy fans are in for a barrel of laughs thanks to South Ribble Borough Council.

Some of the country's top comedy acts are set to come to Leyland, in a special programme of exciting events.

The best stand-up acts from the North West city circuits will be performing at the South Ribble Banqueting Suite, West Paddock, Leyland, as part of the Comedy Bites events.

To make these Comedy Bites that little bit different the organisers have made sure that there will be a lot more than just comedy on the menu.

The audience will get to enjoy a tasty meal in the Banqueting Suite before the entertainment begins, then the evening will be rounded off with a disco.

The first Comedy Bites will take place on April 5 with Justin Moorehouse, star of Channel 4's Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights and a regular at the Comedy Store in both London and Manchester.

Tickets for the evening will cost £10 and are on sale now.

To book or for more information ring Karen on 01772 625505 or call into the South Ribble Banqueting Suite, West Paddock.
