A new series of comedy nights is set to launch in Worcester.

The Funny Firm, a Midlands-based comedy entertainment company, will host the events at Drummonds.

The first show will take place on Tuesday (November 21), at 8pm, with tickets priced at £15.

The organisers hope its expansion into Worcester will provide a platform for comedians from across the UK to perform.

The debut show will feature comedians Steve Day, Ricky Balshaw, Okse, and Dan Smith.

Day, known as Britain's only deaf comedian, is a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Balshaw, a former Paralympic dressage medallist, will entertain with his dark, self-deprecating humour.

Okse, a Midlands Comedy Award winner, will share stories of his upbringing.

Smith, a seasoned Midlands comedian, will host the night.

Chris Oxenbury, also known as Okse, co-founder of The Funny Firm, said: "We’re really excited about bringing comedy to Drummonds.

"It’s a great venue.

"We already have gigs in Bewdley and Kidderminster, so Worcester seemed the ideal place.

"The comedy scene is growing there, and we really want to be part of it."

Smith, another co-founder, added: "Drummonds is a fantastic venue with a rich history, and we’re thrilled to add it to our portfolio.

"We believe our comedy nights offer something unique for Worcester audiences—bringing people together for a night of laughter and great entertainment."

Tickets for the first show are available at www.thefunnyfirm.co.uk, with a 20 per cent discount offered using the code "FF20".
