ONE half of a hugely popular 80s comic double act is to pay a flying visit to wow the crowds at Studley Village Hall and discuss how Christianity changed his life.

Bobby Ball, from comedy duo Cannon and Ball, will be entertaining on Saturday, July 2, as a guest of Studley Baptist Church.

Once hailed as one of England's funniest double acts, their career spanned 40 years.

After talking to a theatre chaplain, Mr Ball became a Christian in 1986 and claimed his new-found faith turned his life around.
