FUNHOUSE Comedy Club, which runs successful nights at various venues across the country, launches its new night at the Falcon Hotel in Whittlesey next month.

Headlining the launch night on March 3 is charming Northerner Craig Murray, whose charismatic, mock-confrontational style and ability to captivate audiences make him a crowd pleaser.

Using his energy and confidence, he combines audience observations and hilarious tales to keep the crowd wanting for more.

Support comes from the energetic and satirical Geoff Norcott. He delivers an eclectic mix of dark material, impressions and politics with a confident smile and optimism.

Completing the line-up will be Chris Turner, a finalist in last year’s BBC New Comedy Award. Using intelligent wordplay and dark jokes to deliver his one-liners, he keeps the audience enthralled with his timing and wit.

The bubbly and bright Carly Smallman will be compere for the night.
