Welcome back for another month of Canterbury's finest comedy night (Citation needed). 

We bring you quality comedians - you bring the laughter. On Wednesday May 24th, we bring you TWO Edinburgh Fringe Previews. These shows are masterpieces under construction and see the shows whilst they are cheap (in Edinburgh they'd cost £15. Tickets are £3). 

We bring you Gráinne Maguire and Ben Van Der Velde!
