The Best in Comedy show returns to The Wyllyotts Theatre, Potters Bar this June with a fantastic line-up featuring the hilarious Milton Jones, Jessica Fostekew, Felicity Ward & Vittorio Angelone!

Milton Jones: Him with the shirts from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and Radio 4.

Milton reveals the truth about being an international spy, before being given a disappointing new identity which forced him to appear on Mock the Week & Live at the Apollo.

Just gloriously daft nonsense or is there a deeper meaning? Every man has his price. Sainsburys, where good food costs less.

This show is not to be missed!

Strictly over 18s only.

Please note that the line-up subject to change without notice.

 

Somewhere in a parallel universe little Alfie’s natural comedic performance skills were recognised by his doting parents who encouraged and developed his blossoming talent. After several years as a stage school brat Alfie’s angelic face was launched on stage and screen and the rest is history.

Meanwhile, in this universe Alfie Moore was told to stop messing about in class before being ‘encouraged’ into the grinding, grimy world of an apprenticeship in the Sheffield steelworks. When recession hit he traded steel for copper by joining Humberside Police.

Thirty years of shift-work, initially in the Sheffield steelworks and then as a copper on the beat (where he was punched in the face quite a lot), has left him with ‘a face for radio’. A face not so much ‘lived in’ as inhabited by a settlement of squatters with little regard to property maintenance and repair.

In his 40s a surprising career shift turned middle-aged Alfie from street cop to BBC radio star. But when TV fame beckoned could he grasp it or was he past it?
