WHAT'S ON IN ASHBY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR MAIN SPONSOR THE LYRIC ROOMS, STAUNTON HAROLD ESTATE and TWELVE.

With Halloween falling on Saturday, there are plenty of spooky activities and family-friendly events to enjoy around Ashby over the coming days.

Comedy Night

Funhouse Comedy is back at the Lyric Rooms, Ashby-de-la-Zouch on Thursday November 12 for a laughter-packed night.

Topping the bill is multi-award nominated comedian, presenter, actor and writer the cheeky and camp Stephen Bailey, who's appeared on numerous TV shows including 'Live at The Apollo', 'Would I Lie To You', Big Brother's Bit On The Side', 'Pointless Celebrities', Celebrity Mastermind' and done warm-ups for 'Let's Lunch with Gino and Mel' and 'Loose Women'. With his sharp wit and warm persona he soon has his audiences fascinated.

Opening the night will be Roger Monkhouse one of the most experienced acts in the business. His deadpan style and quick wit make him one of the best acts out there, and he is a regular fixture at top venues all over the country, as well as performing extensively throughout the rest of the world.

Also appearing will be the clever and amusing character act, Mad Ron, who amid his threatening manner, this unapologetic rogue bemoans such 'modern' developments as vaping or email and has amusingly intolerant lines to explain why.
