⭐ Headliner: Terry Alderton
As seen on Live at the Apollo (BBC), The Stand Up Show, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow – and many more!

-
“A very funny man with a fantastic comedy mind… but someone who really ought to seek some sort of professional help.”
🎤 Opening Act: Ant Dewson
The delightfully daft Ant Dewson combines silly songs with sharp wit. Once a promising pianist (Grade 6 at just 14!), he now puts his musical talent to much better use – making audiences laugh all over the UK.
