Camp comedian Julian Clary looks as though he will be playing to a sell-out house when he visits the Alban Arena next Wednesday, May 4.

His show, The Joy of Mincing, is live and unplugged, celebrating his 30 years as a camp comedian and looking at the ups and downs of his sordid love life and the true and heart-stopping account of how he saved Dame Joan Collins’ life.

On stage he will proudly wear his well-deserved M.B.E. (Mincer of the British Empire) which he received when he knelt down in front of Prince Charles in the scullery at Buckingham Palace…

A few tickets at £23 remain for the show which begins at 8pm, available from the Arena box office on 01727 844488 or click here.

The comedy continues the following night, Thursday, May 4, when Irish comic Ed Byrne arrives with his new show Outside Looking In from 8pm.

Ed has been moaning since his early 20s and his material represents more than two decades of comedy griping.

Tickets are £19.

Two nights of comedy are followed by two of music, starting with Think Floyd who perform at the Arena at 8pm next Friday, May 5.

The tribute band’s new production features complete performances of The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here - arguably two the most influential albums of all time.

Think Floyd aim to recreate all the atmosphere, visual magnitude and musical excellence of Pink Floyd enhanced with a laser light show.

Tickets are £22.50.

The Counterfeit Stones celebrate their 25th anniversary at Arena next Saturday, May 7, with a new riff-packed show mixing classic hits, retro costumes and humour.

They promise a huge dose of nostalgia for those who were there for the original Rolling Stones and an education for those who were not.

The evening gets underway at 8pm and tickets are £22.
