Doors and the bar opens at 6pm for an early sampling and food will be available to purchase from the fabulous Food for thought<\/a> who will be serving their amazing fish and chips plus burgers, hot dogs etc.<\/p>\n

There will be top comedy from Headliner Fiona Allen as seen on: Smack the Pony, Mock the week, Alan Partridge, 8 out of 10 cats, never mind the buzzcocks, the Frank Skinner show.<\/p>\n

Support acts include Jonathan Elston ‘A comic with incredible talent’ The Guardian and Ian Macdonald – who has been gigging since he made 400 vicars laugh (at the same time!) and realised that Stand Up Comedy was the mid-life crisis he was searching for.<\/p>\n
