Cumbrians are in for a treat with two talented comedians heading to the area.

Promoter, Maverick, has secured Royle Family star Ricky Tomlinson to appear at Seaton Rugby Club.

He will appear alongside one of Britain’s best comedians, Gary Skyner.

The comedians appeared at the club a few years ago and the event was a sell-out, with very positive feedback on the night.

Ben Nicholson, from Maverick, said the event was already proving popular with people and looked like it could also sell-out very quickly.

The pair will be coming to West Cumbria to entertain on November 6.

Ben added: “The evening will be full of jokes, laughter and of course stories from Ricky’s life, from his humble Liverpool upbringing, to his time on the picket lines and famous imprisonment and on to his acting career spanning many decades and producing the unforgettable characters of Jim Royle and Mike Bassett.”

He said: “Gary Skyner is recognised as one of Britain’s best comedians with his witty humour, great banter and sharp tongue for anyone brave enough to try and interrupt his act.”

Tickets for the event are £25

A limited number of VIP tables are available for the event, seating six people.

The deal includes front of house seats for the show as well as welcome drinks on arrival, nibbles on the table and a signed event poster framed as a memento of the evening.

Ben said only six of these were available and were priced at £200.

There will also be a raffle on the night and a sports auction with some fantastic signed memorabilia up for grabs.

Tickets and tables are available from Maverick Event Promotions on Facebook or Ben Nicholson on 07732 410159.
