Meanwhile, Fleetwood Marine Hall’s Friday night Comedy Club is back on Friday, July 11.

Headlining the night are Tiff Stevenson and Steve Hall.

Tiff, a finalist on ITV1’s Show Me The Funny, is a stand-up comedian, actor and writer, known for her honest material and instantly like-able disposition.

She has appeared on programmes such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks (BBC Two).

As a solo live performer, Steve Hall is known for his snappy, smart and occasionally nasty comedy!

He has provided the support for Russell Howard on his sell-out national tours Adventures, Dingledodies and the 2009 arena tour Big Rooms and Belly Laughs.

In 2007, Steve performed as part of We Are Klang at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, where they were nominated for a Barry Award, before returning to Edinburgh for a four-night sell out run.

Support act for the night is Jack Barry – probably the only stand up on the circuit with a degree in Chinese!

After excitedly stumbling his way around the stand up and sketch circuits, performing at nights for CKP, Knock 2 Bag, the Invisible Dot and the BBC Comedy Tent in Edinburgh, Jack then went on to support James Acaster on the UK tours of Edinburgh Award-nominated shows Prompt and Lawnmower.

MC for the show is Suzy Bennett.

The show is on Friday, July 11 at 8pm. Tickets : £12.
