WORCESTER Arts Workshop is launching a new comedy night for city centre people out for laughs.

Headliners will include Chris Purchase, who is coming fresh from supporting Reginald D Hunter on tour, and Nick Page, a comedian who has toured the world from Abu Dhabi to Vietnam, with a sell out show at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Tash Giaquinto, coordinator at the workshop said: "Worcester Arts Workshop is committed to producing a programme of arts for everyone. Comedy is a hugely popular art form and seeing high quality arts doesn’t have to mean sitting silently in a theatre for two hours.”

The next Scallywags Comedy Nights will take place on May 18, June 15 and July 8, from 7.30pm.
