AN award-winning comedian is set to tread the boards of a Worcester theatre as he embarks on a nationwide stand-up tour.

Lee Mack, star of ITV's The Sketch Show, will be hoping to impress an audience at the city's Huntingdon Hall on Friday, February 18, at 8pm.

He has just completed a sell-out tour of his show in Edinburgh, Melbourne, Aspen and Montreal and filmed an American version of it alongside Hollywood star Kelsey Grammer, famous for playing psychologist Frasier in the hit programme of the same name.

"Don't miss your chance to see one of Britain's finest stand-up comedians and rising stars on television," said a Huntingdon Hall spokesman.

Tickets cost £12 or £11 for concessions and can be purchased by calling Huntingdon Arts box office on 01905 611427.
