Join us for a playful evening of comedy. There will be a great lineup of comedians including:ANDY ASKINS – Fantastic Musical Headliner who will have you in stitches
His expertly crafted routines are masterpieces littered with an eclectic mix of offbeat original comic songs and parodies. If a Panda and Chuck Norris ever had a child it still wouldn't match Andy Askins' efficiency at disarming people. You never quite know what he is going to say or which way it’s going to go it could be a story a one-liner a song or even a poem!
Askins is also a firm favourite with the Armed Forces having entertained troops on several tours on Naval ships in ports around the world as well as military bases in conflict zones like Iraq Afghanistan Kosovo Sarajevo Italy Falkland Islands Indonesia even Somalia! Due to his dedication Andy was also one of a very select group to be awarded the ‘Afghanistan campaign medal’ a testament to his contributions which included several tours to soldiers operating on the frontline.
