Jake Lambert built up his profile as a stand-up comedian after gaining a following on Twitter under the pseudonym @LittleLost Lad. Putting down his iPhone and picking up a microphone was a good move...he made it into the final of the Amused Moose Final 2016, semi-finals of the BBC New Comedy Award 2015, Magners New Comedian of the Year 2015, English Comedian of the Year 2015 and the Leicester Mercury New Act of the Year 2015. Jake will be on stage at 8.45pm.

The all-dayer is organised by Funhouse Comedy Club which is a twice-winner of the Best Midlands Comedy Club award with leading comedy website Chortle.

Day tickets cost £8 in advance, evening tickets (after 6pm) cost £5. Go to www.funhousecomedy.com
