Bank Holiday Blues?

Skipton Comedy is back this Friday evening - a guaranteed pick me up and a great start to next weekend.

September's brilliant comedy line-up features Dave Williams, Joe Zalias and The Halls of Ridiculous, with MC Paul Pirie keeping the laughs coming all night long.

A quick update from our previous posts: Joe Zalias will now be appearing instead of Matt Stellingwerf, and Paul Pirie will be taking over MC duties from Colin Manford.
