A legendary comedy club known as a breeding ground for some of the country's best stand-up comics is coming to a Norfolk venue.

The Comedy Store will stage an evening of laughter at the Pavilion Theatre in Gorleston on December 2.

Performers will be confirmed closer to that date.

The Comedy Store, which is based in London, is where the likes of Eddie Izzard, Sarah Millican and Jimmy Carr cut their teeth.

Alex Youngs, Pavilion Theatre trustee, said: "What an absolute treat for us to be the new home of such a fantastic name in the comedy world.

"We're so excited about bringing new comedians into the area for everyone in Gorleston, Great Yarmouth and beyond to come along, to see and enjoy."

The Comedy Store night will also return to the Pavilion four more times throughout 2024.

The theatre itself has been the starting point for many famous careers and it has been reported that stars such as Morecambe and Wise once took a nap in the dressing rooms under the stage.
