RISING stars of comedy and amateur hopefuls will both be entertaining audiences at Worcester's comedy night, which goes by the name of ComedyJam.

The next one, at The Firefly in Lowesmoor, will take place on Wednesday October 25, at 7.30pm.

Spokesman, comedian Alex Redmond said: "This time we have Leicester Square New Act finalist, Sham Zaman compering for us. We also have variety of acts including a comedy magician, some newcomers, and Funny Women award winner, runner up for BBC New Comedy Award 2015, and semi-finalist for BBC New Comedy Award 2016, Lindsey Santoro.

"The night is open to established acts as well as people wanting to try it for the first time. There are always two open five minute spots for anyone who wishes to turn up on the night and try it for the first time in a really friendly atmosphere. It's really been going from strength to strength in the past few months, gradually getting more audience and a wide range of performers."
