MANFORD'S Comedy Club will be returning to Millom later this year with another live line-up of up-and-coming comedians.

The four-act bill at the Beggar's Theatre on Friday December 15 follows the touring club - founded by stand-up star Jason Manford - making its debut at the venue earlier this year.

For this second show, Harry Stachini, Mike Newall, Sally-Anne Hayward and Scott Bennett are all set to appear.

Stachini started performing comedy aged 18, and was named in the top three of the Southport New Comedian of the Year competition in 2014.

The youngster is beginning to establish himself as a strong new act on the comedy circuit with his easy-going style along with his likeable character, adding to his unexpected stories and array of one-liners.

Manchester-based Mike Newall is a much more experienced act, having started out 15 years ago, and he has also taken his solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

He has also become regular support for Alun Cochrane's nationwide tours, and is resident compere at the Coachload of Comedy night in Wilmslow.

Sally-Anne Hayward is an award-winning comedian and a sought-after corporate performer, who has proven her writing talents with numerous Edinburgh Fringe shows. She has performed all over the world and has provided tour support for Sarah Millican, Russell Howard and Russell Kane.

Completing the line-up, Scott Bennett is a versatile and confident performer, who regularly appears at many established clubs including Glee, Jongleurs, and the Frog and Bucket. He is a resident MC with Funhouse Comedy and is also making a name for himself on the corporate and after dinner speaking circuit.

Tickets for the show are available from the Beggar's Theatre box office now.
