LAUGHTER is on the cards thanks to a Wokingham-based charity.

The Lions are planning the return of its regular comedy night thanks to Wokingham Theatre.

It takes place on Frdiay, May 27, and sees three comics entertaining audiences.

Matt Bragg, James Ellis and Joe Sutherland will be introduced by compere, David Ward.

Organiser John Cleary said: “Our comedy night in March was a great success and raised over £3,000 for charity.

“The feedback from the audience that night has confirmed our view that the appetite for comedy amongst the people of Wokingham is very much alive and kicking.

“As a result, we’re planning two more shows this year and a further two in 2023.

“Tickets are selling fast, but there are still some available. We would like to thank the directors of the Wokingham Theatre for letting us use their amazing venue.”

Future Friday evenings are October 7 and November 18 this year, and February 3, and May 19 next year. Doors open at 7.30pm, with comedy from 8.30pm.

The nights are for over 18s only.

Tickets cost £17, with proceeds going to local charities. There will be a bar, and parking is available

At the May event, members of The Kimel Foundation will be selling raffle tickets for its work.
