The next “The Very Best in Stand Up” show in Nantwich will help to celebrate five years of laughter.

The May 3 gig at Nantwich Civic Hall marks half a decade of performances in Crewe and Nantwich.

It also marks three years since the event was moved to the Civic Hall from Crewe.

And May 3’s line-up promises another top night of comedy, including Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow star Rob Beckett (pictured).

Promoter Mike Ramm said: “In five years we’ve brought you some fantastic comics including many who have gone on to become household names in the world of comedy, TV and Radio.

“Back in 2008 when we had our last show at Crewe Limelight having already seen the likes of Jason Manford, John Bishop, Sarah Millican and Rhod Gilbert, The Very Best In Stand up was born.

“The premise was simple – to bring the very best acts from the national and international comedy circuits and bring them to South Cheshire for a price that offered a great value night out and to introduce more people to stand up comedy.

“Comedy then started a huge boom in popularity in which it was described as “The new Rock and Roll”.”

“But comedy loses a lot of its impact on TV and you simply cannot replicate the feel of live comedy by being there.”

Other comedians to grace South Cheshire include Reginald D Hunter, Jack Whitehall, Jon Richardson, Rufus Hound and Greg Davies.

Promoters also introduced one-off shows starring a big name comedians, which has seen success with sell-out shows by Jim Jeffries and earlier this week Richard Herring.

The Friday May 3 show tickets are £10, available from Nantwich Civic Hall and www.civiccomedy.co.uk

Doors 7.15pm Show 8.15pm.
