A NEW comedy club will soon be up and running.

Live @ The Comedy Bar is being launched at Bossa Nova, New Street, Worcester, on Thursday, February 24.

The opening night will feature critically-acclaimed stand-ups Howard Reed, Steve Day, Liam Mullone and Barbara Nice.

Reed received heaps of praise for his show Big Howard Little Howard.

Day, a deaf comedian, has become a familiar voice on BBC Radio 4.

Liam Mullone is based around not really understanding how the world works and Barbara Nice is the comic creation of Janice Connolly, who has supported both Peter Kay and Johnny Vegas. Tickets are £5 in advance and £7 on the door.
