Funhouse Comedy Club starts the New Year at Foxlowe Arts Centre, Leek on Thursday January 6th with another night full of laughter.

Headlining the night is bestselling author and comedian Sam Avery aka ?The Learner Parent, who is currently touring his Toddlergeddon Tour show about his twin boys. He wanted to be a rock star and nearly made it as a member of DBH (Dirty Blue Hook), touring with Motorhead and Ice T.

Sometimes referred to as a geek, his mind seems to find the oddities in ?normality?! His imaginative use of words and strange lines of thought, results in unique and sharp material.

Completing the line-up is Eric Rushton; 2021 winner of the prestigious Leicester Mercury Comedian Of The Year competition, previously won by the likes of Lee Mack, Rhod Gilbert and Johnny Vegas, with his sardonic quips and personal dreams.

Compere for the night will be the enthusiastically self-assured Sully O?Sullivan, his sharp ire and amusing playfulness draws everyone into his world, where they are happy to stay.

Tickets are £8.00 in advance £10 on the door
