ENJOY a barrel of Christmas laughs at The Courtyard with festive Comedy Clubs.

December sees a bumper month for comedy, with a whole host of hilarious comedians in store.

On Friday, December 5, Manchester comedian Steve Bugeja, the “delightfully weird” Eric Lampeart (Time Out) and Kieran Boyd take to the stage to deliver some stellar stand-up.

Enjoy a double bill of laughs on Friday and Saturday, December 12 and 13 with Hayley Ellis, Ed Gamble and Jack Barry, then on Thursday and Friday, December 18 and 19, Steve Bugeja returns along with Tiff Stevenson and So You Think You're Funny? finalist Ahir Shah, for a final festive feast of comedy.

To tickle the tastebuds, The Courtyard Café Bar’s Festive Fork menu returns alongside Comedy Clubs

Discounts available for group bookings. Comedy Clubs will be in the Studio at 8.30pm. To book, call the box office on 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk. Comedy Clubs are sponsored by Heineken.
