Laurence Clark
Inspired
Friday 13 Sept, 7.45pm
Find out why Laurence - star of BBC1's documentary We Won't Drop The Baby - hates being called ‘inspirational’. From mountain climbing to Doctor Who, via the Swedish chef from The Muppets, this inimitable comedian sorts out once and for all what’s truly inspiring. Expect absurd logic, death defying stunts and unusual varieties of crisps. So, if you’re sceptical when told to climb every mountain, reach for the skies and follow your dreams, then this is definitely the show for you. With regular TV and radio appearances, and solo shows, Laurence has been awarded Britain’s Funniest New Comedian (Shortlist Magazine) and runner up in the Amused Moose Laughter Awards at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Ardal O’Hanlon
Wednesday 18 Sept, 8.00pm
The Father Ted star is delighted to present his latest stand-up show for 2013. The style is observational, the subject matter is Life itself, and the default expression is one of utter disbelief! Lurking beneath Ardal’s mild-mannered demeanor resides a sharp and probing (and fairly mild-mannered) comic brain. Sometimes thoughtful, sometimes silly, but always punchy, he has tickled audiences all over the world. In a comprehensive set, he talks about not just the things that matter but also about the things that don’t matter at all. Which covers pretty much everything.

Sarah Millican
Home Bird
Friday 20 Sept, 8.00pm
The British Comedy Award’s Queen of Comedy Sarah Millican is giving up the party scene (Ann Summers), easing off on the drinking (fizzy pop equals wealthy dentists) and is settling down (taking her bra off). Determined to put down some roots, she now has a cat (furry baby) and even a tree (she has a lot of mugs). On this, her third national tour, you will learn what to take on a dirty weekend, the easiest way to blend in in posh restaurants and how to teach a pensioner to swear. Join her for some hilarious domestic bliss.
