FUNNY guys and gals from Bridgwater and beyond will star in a night of stand-up at Bridgwater Arts Centre next week – and YOU are also invited to put your name down for an open mic slot.

Graduates from Raw Comedy, a course held by Somerset Skills & Learning in 2013, are presenting this free gig.

Nikie McCretton, a Bridgwater comedienne who brought her own show, Tin Rocket, to Somerset's Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre last year, will host the evening.

The fun starts at 8pm in the arts centre bar on Thursday February 13.

If you wish to try out some comedy material beforealive audience, email abowen@somerset.gov.uk or call Ade on 01278-783057 to book.
