A good laugh is what audience will get with this trio

EVERYONE likes a good laugh, and Redditch's Palace Theatre provides the material when comedy legends Frank Carson and Duncan Norvelle, along with one of the funniest men on the circuit today, Ian 'Sludge' Lees, pay a visit next week (Friday, May 16).
What can be said about Frank Carson that has not already been said elsewhere? The veteran entertainer has of course been on nearly every light entertainment programme going, making him a UK and Irish household name. But, maybe it's just because of "the way he tells 'em".
Duncan Norvelle was the star of the 2007 Comedy Night Out. A firm favourite of the British public, Duncan has been seen and heard on all of the UK's top TV shows. He is a wonderful comedian as well as impressionist, with the legendary catchphrase "Chase me".
Following a well-trodden path, Ian ‘Sludge’ Lees started his showbusiness life with two top comedy show-groups of the 1970s - The Montanas and Light Fantastic - before making the break as a solo artiste.
'Sludge' (as he is affectionately known) was twice voted Midlands Comedian Of the Year and was a regular member of the Tizwas TV cast, following this with regular appearances on shows such as The Comedians, Summertime Special and Live From Her Majesty's, to name but a few.
Recently Sludge has been one of the stars of Carlton's The Performers.
Tickets for A Comedy Night Out, which starts at 7.30pm, cost £18 (one price). The show is suitable for those above the age of 14 only, and tickets are available from www.redditchpalacetheatre.co.uk or from the box office on 01527 65203. -
