The best of The Comedy Trust’s course for 11 – 18 year olds. With former winners having made it onto Britain’s Got Talent and Cbeebies this is fast becoming the premiere young comedy award in Britain.

Class of 2003, assemble! In the decade since they left college, there have been births, deaths and gender reassignments (and that was just Chris Archer. RIP). Now they’re all back in the same room. What could possibly go wrong? Fresh from a smash hit Barrynominated run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Foster’s Award-winners Max and Ivan (Radio 4, BBC3) spin a bewitching narrative sketch comedy tale of love, loss and shatterproof rulers.

ROCK N ROLL BINGO Ma Edgerton’s 8pm £1 to play

Like rock music? Like games of chance involving numbers? Then you’ll love Ma Edge’s Rock n Roll Bingo! Special guest caller Sam Avery will be combining phat beats and fat ladies in the show where Top Of The Shop meets Top Of The Pops. A very silly idea that will be a great night out!

A show full of daring and imaginative comedy and live sketches all performed and projected live on screen.

“Undeniably superstars of tomorrow.

It feels like watching early Walliams and Lucas or Enfield and Whitehouse” GQ
