A celebration of comedy

CULTURE Warrington are set to hold their first ever celebration of comedy next month – filled with unforgettable one-liners and guaranteed giggles from some of the most popular comedians in the country.
Ed Byrne will headline the comedy extravaganza with a range of other performances and workshops to be held at Pyramid and Parr Hall as part of the month-long celebration.
To kick off the festival some of the funniest up-and-coming talents will be trying out their best jokes as Comedy Store returns to Pyramid on Saturday March 5. This show has built a reputation for hilarious and unforgettable nights out, so it makes the perfect beginning to the comedy season.
Ed Byrne’s Irish charm and undeniable wit will have audiences howling at ther Parr Hall on Friday March 11. His “Outside, Looking In” show has toured the entire country – collecting rave reviews along the way – and
now it is Warrington’s turn.
Children also have the chance to get in on the comedy action as Comedy Club 4 Kids brings some of the funniest stand-up comedians from around the globe to the town to do what they do best in front of an audience of children and their families. Everyone from six to 100 years old is welcome to the event on Saturday March 19, as they tell all the best jokes –  without the rude bits.
As part of the season, Pyramid will also be hosting a screening of the best-loved comedy film “Some Like It Hot” in the relaxing environment of the Studio Theatre. The all-time outrageous, satirical comedy is one of the most hilarious films ever made.
To round off the season with a bang, Parr Hall will be welcoming a whole host of the funniest comedians around on Thursday March 24 for the Who Dares Grins Comedy Night Live. Craig Murray, Gary Delaney, Kerry
Godlima and Terry Alderton, some of the brightest names in the stand-up circuit will provide non-stop laughter.
Chris Persoglio, venue and events manager at Culture Warrington, said:
