FUNNYMAN Johnny Vegas will be appearing at the St Helens Show to raise funds for the Shopmobility scheme which provides wheelchairs or scooters to people with disabilities to enable them to shop.

An Evening with Johnny Vegas & Friends will take place in the main indoor arena on Saturday, July 31, and will include the sale of original pieces of pottery made by Johnny. Adding a touch of glamour to the evening will be local all-girl band, Bijou, who have previously supported the chart-topping Cleopatra and have had a number of television appearances.

Doors open at 7pm and tickets, priced £5, are available from Disability Advice &Information St Helens (DASH).
