The Stand and Deliver comedy club is back for the first time since Christmas on Friday, January 27.

Carey Max headlines, combining illusions with his comedy act.

A Canadian, he is described as being on blistering form at the moment.

Michael Legge is a comic with a cruel tongue that gets the rest of his body in trouble. In other words, he's for adults only.

Russell Howard is a recent winner of the BBC South West comedy heats and has won praise in the past from the likes of Ross Noble and Johnny Vegas.

Stan Vernon, meanwhile, uses a barrage of verbal assaults to win over an audience.

Stand and Deliver takes place at 53 Degrees, the new home for the Students' Union at the University of Central Lancashire. Tickets for the night at £8 on the door, £6 in advance.
