RESIDENTS are being given something to laugh about as a comedy club has returned.

The Lyme Regis Comedy Club returned to the Marine Theatre last month with a sell-out show.

The show takes the format of a traditional comedy club with short sets by four performers, mixing up nationally-known comics with those who are becoming established.

The monthly event is hosted by Bridport's Tom Glover, a popular local comedian.

Mr Glover said: "It was fantastic to return to our home at the Marine for a sell out show with old and new faces - comedy fans clearly needed a laugh after the last 18 months. It's a great value event for a tenner and a chance to see upcoming talent alongside big names."

The comedy club returns to the Marine Theatre again on Saturday, July 24. The show will be headlined by English Comedian of the Year, Jake Lambert.

He will be joined by Joe Wells, a writer from Have I Got News For You and Andrew White, a favourite at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Tickets for the event cost £10.
