THE Hyena Lounge Comedy Club bill is in place already for New Year's Eve at The Duchess in York. Step forward Alun (CORRECT) Cochrane, Alex Boardman, Danny Deegan and Barry Dodds.

"There's no better way to welcome in the New Year than with a good old laugh, so celebrate the arrival of 2016 at the Hyena Lounge with our New Year’s Eve Special," says promoter Toby Clouston-Jones.

"The show runs a little earlier than usual, starting at 7.30pm and finishing at 10pm to allow customers the option of complimentary admission for the club night that follows the comedy at The Duchess until the small hours". Alternatively, they can head off elsewhere to see in the New Year, with an open invitation to pop back at anytime to continue the party.

"Last winter’s show was a sell-out, so you shouldn’t hang about getting tickets booked at the discount advanced price if you wish to join us for what should be a night to remember," says Toby. "In fact, last year's New Year's Eve was probably our best show of the year. Just a room packed with very happy people."

Tickets cost £20 at hyenalounge.com or on 01904 641413 or £25 on the door from 6.30pm.
