TWO of Bournemouth’s most popular entertainment brands have joined forces to offer a new era of adult fun.

Live comedy and music promoters Funnybone have got together with cabaret and party night favourites Rubyz to put a smile on the town’s weekends and week nights.

Rubyz’ renowned party nights will transform Bournemouth’s Centre Stage venue every Saturday night.

On Friday nights, Funnybone’s comedy club will continue to host some of the UK comedy circuit’s top jokers, while adjacent pub the Pig & Whistle has been transformed into the Ruby Lounge for cabaret and live music nights.

Across the week, regular burlesque shows, folk and jazz club nights, the Chicken Soup choir and other live music gigs will turn Centre Stage and Ruby Lounge into the south’s premier live entertainment venue.

Funnybone founder Mick Callaghan said: “We think it’s a great idea.

“We’re both about bringing fun to the town and to have it all in one place with all the great facilities here will work brilliantly.”

Dame Kitty, matriarch of the Rubyz live show experience, said: “We think it’s the perfect partnership.

“Bournemouth needs an injection of innocent adult fun and we intend to provide it on as many nights as we can.”

The fun starts tomorrow night with a VIP launch evening and the weekly Funnybone comedy nights kick off the 2013 with a top-notch bill on Friday.
