A COMEDY club in Bournemouth and Poole is celebrating after winning a regional award.

Coastal Comedy scooped up the South West England Prestige Award 2021/22 for comedy club of the year.

The popular event returns with its next Coastal Comedy Colossal show in the big theatre at Poole Lighthouse on Saturday, February 26, with three television headlines in the form of Rosie Jones, Mike Gunn and Charlie Baker.

Adrienne Coles, chief executive of Coastal Comedy and event host, said: "This line-up really is superb with big names in the big theatre for big laughs.

"There’s a huge demand for live entertainment now as there is nothing like a room full of people laughing together and it’s a massive thrill to put it all together and share the experience."

Tickets for the show are £19.75 in advance and take place every month at the Lighthouse and Canvas in Bournemouth. For more details, visit coastalcomedy.com.
