COMEDY fans have a huge treat ahead when comic Joe Lycett brings his brand-new show to Stockton’s Arc on Thursday 12 April next year.

The comedian rose to fame after winning Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2012.

He has since wowed millions of TV comedy fans, with appearances on a string of top shows including Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, QI, The Royal Variety Performance, Would I Lie To You, Sunday Night at the Palladium and Celebrity Juice.

Now, with three sell-out Edinburgh Festival runs already under his belt, his brand-new show I’m About to Lose Control And I Think Joe Lycett promises to be another huge hit with comedy fans all over the country.

Graham Ramsay, of promoters Ten Feet Tall said: “Joe has a ton of stage presence, and it’s been no surprise to watch him take the comedy world by storm these last few years.

“We can’t wait to see him back here on Teesside – ARC is always such an amazing intimate gig to play, and this is a great chance for Teesside’s comedy fans to catch Joe close up for what will be a real night to remember.”

Tickets, which cost £20 and go on sale at 10am this Friday, are available from www.arconline.co.uk; www.seetickets.com or Arc box office on 01642-525199.
