Plenty of laughs and cash will be raised at a comedy night in Mossley next month.

Award-winning comedian Colin Manford, together with three other comedians, are teaming up to raise funds for Willow Wood Hospice.

The hospice is proud to announce they have partnered with four of the best comedians on the national and international circuit for the comedy night at the George Lawton Hall.

Colin Manford (Justin’s younger brother) will be hosting the evening on Friday 16 September, and brings with him the very talented Big Lou, who has been described as a cross between Les Dawson and Jimmy Carr; Steve Shanyaski, named the Holsten Pils Comedian of the Year and the Birmingham Comedy Festival Best Breaking Talent; and Alex Boardman, who has written for John Bishop and 8 out of 10 Cats, and is one of the UK’s most sought after acts in his own right.

Lisa Buckley, event organiser, said: “Colin is amazing and so very funny, he really can connect with any audience and I’m thrilled to have been able to secure him for what promises to be the best night out of the year.  As Colin is a committed supporter of a number of local charities, we’re offering the Comedy Night for just £15 a ticket – truly an amazing price for an amazing night out.”

All four comedians have toured extensively and are at the top of their game, although it must be stressed that this evening is for over- 18s only.

Colin said: “I’m very excited to be teaming up with the wonderful people at Willow Wood to bring a fine night of comedy to raise vital funds for the hospice. The line-up is phenomenal, so buy your tickets online from Willow Wood or from the George Lawton Hall itself.”
