A night of stand-up comedy takes place at the Manor Pavilion Theatre on Saturday, October 19.

The headline act is a former English Comedian of the Year winner, Josh Pugh.

He will be joined by support acts Jon Pearson, Abi Clarke and Tom Christian.

The evening will be hosted by Sidmouth-based comedian and promoter Daniel FitzHenry, or Fitz.

Fitz grew up in Sidmouth but moved away to Bath, which was where he became a comedian and began running his own events.

He returned to Sidmouth two years ago and announced that he was 'on a mission' to bring more top comedy events to the area, and showcase up-and-coming talent. He currently runs a semi-regular gig at Sidmouth Rugby Club.

The comedy night at the Manor Pavilion Theatre starts at 8pm and is not suitable for under 16s.

Tickets are £10 and available via the theatre's website or by calling 01395 514413.
