FREE COMEDY TOMORROW!

'Shooting Stars' meets 'Supermarket Sweep' with a dose of seventies political incorectness in 'CORNERSHOP SHOWDOWN'. You could be a contestant, or just watch the madness from the safety of your seat - but we'd love to see you there!

This is Work In Progress for the Bedford Fringe, so far from perfect but you can say you saw it first!

Written by and starring Jake Yapp (Radio 4, 'Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe', 'The Hurting') this is a great way to spend a Friday night, watching live comedy FOR FREE!

Friday 20th Feb

7.30 - 9pm

Free entry - just turn up! (Donations gratefully accepted!)

Kent Arms (back bar), Salisbury st.

Enjoy free comedy, cheap drinks and a bag of Pick n Mix! Maybe 20 Rothmans whilst you're at it...
