TWO award-winning comedians will be previewing their brand new Edinburgh Festival shows at The Marrs Bar in Worcester during a live comedy evening on Thursday, July 5.

The show features Welsh comedian and Perrier award nominee Rhod Gilbert, along with the star of BBC 2's Mock The Week, Mark Watson, holder of the world record for the longest ever stand up show at 36 hours.

"These comedians are some of the finest emerging talent in the UK. The audience will no doubt look back in a couple of years time and say I saw him first at The Marrs Bar,'" said Comedy Zone promoter Adam Montgomery.

Tickets for the evening, which starts at 9pm, cost £10 and are available from Music City in Worcester and the Marrs Bar. Doors open at 8pm and there is a late bar.
