THE next instalment of The Comedy Mill programme in Ulverston will be a special charity event.

The stand-up show at The Mill on Friday September 14 also features arguably the event’s strongest line-up to date.

MC for the night will be Sian Davies, a finalist in Nando’s New Comedian 2017. A stand-up who has written for Newsjack on BBC Radio 4 Extra and had sketches featured on And Then She Said A Funny Thing live performance podcast, she headlined the only all-female show at the 2017 Liverpool Comedy Festival.

Howard Walker opens. An imaginative storyteller, he burst onto the comedy scene early in 2014, and won the Yorkshire Comedy Cellar New Act 2015, and hasn’t looked back since, travelling the country and playing the UK’s best-known comedy clubs.

Lindsey Davies, a regional finalist at the 2017 Funny Women Awards, and Nando’s Comedian of the year finalist 2014, also appears. She is the internationally-renowned author of Mr. Wrong and founder and organiser of The Homeless Support Stand Up Project.

Headliner for the night is Tony Burgess, winner of the prestigious City Life Comedian of the Year, runner up in So You Think You’re Funny and a nominee for best stand up and writer at the North West comedy awards. Best recognised for his role in the cult BBC3 comedy Ideal, where he played DJ Troy, he also starred in his self penned BBC1 sitcom The Visit. He has also co-written a Sony Award winning Radio 4 comedy, The Nightclass, and supported Johnny Vegas on tour.

The show on Friday 14 starts at 8pm, and tickets priced £10 are available in advance via www.ticketsource.co.uk with all proceeds donated to Ulverston Mind and St Mary’s Hospice.
