TODAY’S COMEDY CHOICES

Chris Ramsey – Feeling Lucky, Bloomsbury Theatre, 11-12 Jan
Having just starred in the BBC’s rather likeable 2012 series ‘Hebburn’, Tyneside ladies’ fave Chris Ramsey retells the making of his new telly fame; plus science, genealogy, the universe, and everything else. Event details and tickets here.
