Legendary Manchester comic Smug Roberts is inviting hospitals, fire stations, synagogues , churches, mosques, retirement homes and businesses in the North West to be host venues on his whirlwind one-day tour of the region on February 28 in aid of Comic Relief.

The ‘20’ theme is to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the launch of Smug’s career on February 28, when Caroline Aherne spotted him at the Frog & Bucket in Manchester.

The gagman said: “Thanks in advance to anybody that donates to Comic Relief and helps us on our 24 hours of madness!”
