STAND up comedy returns to the Maltings with a visit from Canadian export Tom Stade who is appearing tomorrow night.

A much sought after performer, he has established himself on the stand-up circuit with his stage presence, charm and first-class storytelling.

He has headlined all over the world from New York to Johannesburg, performed at comedy festivals around the globe and entertained the troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and The Falklands.

Tipped for comedy greatness, he is appearing at the arts theatre in St Albans at 8pm and tickets at �12 with concessions �10 can be obtained from the box office on 01727 864511, in person from the Tourist and Information Office at the Town Hall or online at www.allaboutstalbans.com
