COMEDIANS from the UK circuit will return to Wirral next year after debut shows proved a success.

The Friday comedy nights will return to Thornton Hough Village Club & Bar after the nights featuring an MC and three acts from the comedy scene were popular with audiences throughout 2024.

The comedy night is the brainchild of actor Dean Boodaghians-Nolan, who lives in the village and wants to ensure the community has a wide range of entertainment options.

Mr Boodaghians-Nolan, whose acting CV includes House of the Dragon, said: "We are delighted to be bringing back the comedy nights in 2025 – the venue has proved such a wonderful location for pro comedy with tickets selling quickly and, on some nights, we’ve had to get extra chairs out to accommodate everyone.

"The line-ups for next year are superb so book early is my advice."
