THREE top comedians will be appearing at The Comedy Club at Batchwood Hall in St Albans next Wednesday, December 16.

MC for the evening, which gets underway at 8.30pm, will be Dave Ward whose material is both varied and universally popular. He has worked alongside such well-known names as Harry Hill, Frank Skinner and Richard Littlejohn.

Opening proceedings will be Sam Avery whose ambition to be a rock star almost took him from his paper round to the top - until contracts were annulled, money was stolen and he was forced to ask for his fluorescent bag back.

His observational style puts audiences at their ease while he regales them with tales of everyday life with humour and quick wit.

Headlining is Phil Butler whose fast-moving act has taken him all over the world from cruising in the Caribbean to entertaining the Armed Forces in Afghanistan.

His career is now evolving again after landing his first acting role on BBC1's smash hit Hotel Babylon where he played the part of a mischievous chef.
