What comes out of nowhere, takes you for a wild ride and leaves you grinning stupidly? Find out on September 9 at the Comedy Corall in Clitheroe.

Gagslinger Steve Royle headlines a night of mirth at St Mary's Arts Centre, deputised by Des Sharples, Stephanie Davies and Sam Avery.

The MC is rising star Dave Twentyman who makes a return visit to Clitheroe following a storming performance at a comedy night organised by Ribble Valley Radio last year.

Dave said: "It's great to be asked back, but let me tell you live stand up comedy is not for the faint hearted.

"If you don't like cuss words, look elsewhere, but if you like a laugh and value for money, then you've come to the right place.

"Steve Royle is a top drawer act and Des, Sam and Stephanie are really sharp.

"Everybody loves a Saturday night out, it's like play time for grown ups."

Des Sharples runs a successful comedy night at The Iguana Bar in Manchester and is a regular on the comedy circuit.

Sam and Stephanie also run their own gigs and are based in Liverpool.

Steve Royle has supported Peter Kay and Dave Spikey on tour and has his own show on BBC Radio Lancashire.

He also used to be the Jester at Camelot and has an increasing fan base across Lancashire.

He regularly appears at theatres with his show Slaughterhouse Live including the Lowry and The Comedy Store.

Comedy Corall is at St Mary's Arts Centre, Clitheroe on Saturday, September 9.
