COMEDY fans have another to book tickets to see top TV comic Joe Lycett in action after he confirmed a new date at Middlesbrough Town Hall next year.

The gig goes on sale at 10am on Friday morning, and the extra show is in response to the demand for the original Teesside tour date – tickets for Stockton’s Arc next spring sold out in 90 minutes.

Rob Guest, of Middlesbrough Town Hall said: “Joe is one of the best new comics to emerge over the last few years, and this is another fantastic date to have in the diary. We can’t wait to welcome him here at the Town Hall, and we’re sure that people are going to enjoy an incredible night.”

The comedian's rapid rise to fame began after winning a Best Newcomer nomination at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2012.
