FUNNYMAN Rob Rouse will be the headline act as comedy nights return to the Citadel.

There will be plenty of rib-ticklers in store as The Laughter Factory brings another professional comedy night to the venue at the start of next month.

The nights have been running since February, seeing some of the best comedians the circuit has to offer come to St Helens, and after a short break, they are back in town from September.

Rob was the winner of 1998’s So, You Think You’re Funny? and has a long list of television credits to his name. Many will recognise him from his numerous appearances on shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats, Celebrity Juice, Dave’s One Night Stand, The Friday Night Project and Grown Ups.

Rob will be joined on the night by three other comedians and as always the hilarious Neil P Shawcross will be the compere of the evening which takes place on Saturday, September 5.

Doors are open from 7.30pm, with an 8pm start and tickets are £10 each.

More funny nights are scheduled for the venue on October 11, November 1, December 19, February 5 and March 5.
