Lots of laughs with top comics at library

The Barnstormers Comedy Night on Saturday has a North American flavour with Canadian comic Dana Alexander appearing and American Russell Hicks.

Paul Ricketts is the final act with regular compere Kevin Precious completing the line-up.

One of Canada’s most outspoken and hilarious women has packed her bags and is now in the UK. The only black female comedian on the circuit in Canada, Dana’s comedic style is both refreshing and irreverent, drawing her material from her diverse lifestyle, her gay friends and her crazy Jamaican family.

One of the most exciting comics to come out of America, Russell Hicks is branded one of the ‘Top Six Comics to Watch’ by LA’s Stand Up Talk Magazine. He has appeared on LA-based panel show Direct TV’s ‘What’s News?’ and is a regular guest on hit podcasts.

Paul Ricketts is an award-winning comic who has been entertaining audiences across the UK since 2005. Paul has developed into a much sought after performer on the comedy circuit. His humour focuses not only on sharp observations from life, but also racial, cultural and satirical subjects, intermingled with strange tales of ordinary madness.

Tickets for the show, starting at 8pm, are £10 in advance or £12 on the door. They can be booked by calling the box office on 0300 300 8125.
