AWARD winning comedian Gary Delaney will perform in Selby this month.

Delaney, who is a regular on Mock The Week and has won Sony and Chortle Awards and the only comedian to have two entries listen in the Top 10 Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe, will appear with his Purist show at Selby Town Hall on Saturday, April 18.

Chris Jones, Town Council Arts Officer, said: "If you like your comedy to feature belly laugh after belly laugh, then Gary Delaney is about as good as it gets.

"To strip away all the extraneous material, the background stories and long winded build up to just leave bare, stand alone jokes, requires incredible skill. Very few comics manage to pull off the straight 'one liner' style, but Gary really does it with significant aplomb. The man is a master joke crafter."

Tickets cost £13 in advance, £15 on the door, and are available at the town hall, by phoning 01757 708449 or at selbytownhall.co.uk
