A second date has been secured at the Marine Theatre in Lyme after a massive sell out for Live at the Apollo star Jen Brister.

The comedian wil be performing at the theatre on both Saturday, March 11 and Sunday, March 12.

The Marine secured a second date with the popular comic to make her gig available for all who wish to attend.

If Jen has learned anything in the past 18 months, it’s that she’s no good in a crisis (unless you count getting into the foetal position in under 30 seconds).

Promoters say: "Has the pandemic changed her for the better or is she the same old pessimistic naysayer she’s always been? I think we all know the answer to that. Let’s just hope she can make it funny."

Tickets for Jen Brister - The Optimist are still availabel for Sunday, March 12. They cost £16 in advance or £18 on the door. They are £13 for students and there is a 10 per cent discount for members.
