A Lichfield pub is adding comedy to its growing list of entertainment events.

The George IV already hosts jazz, blues and acoustic nights that have seen more than 100 hundred bands perform at the intimate venue.

Comedy will be added to the repertoire on Thursday (May 12) when the pub hosts a charity evening in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Mike Blades, landlord of the George IV, said:

“Depending on the success of this first comedy evening we hope to make this a regular monthly event complementing the only other comedy night in town which invariably sells out.”

The night will feature five comedians who are currently featuring on the UK and international comedy circuits and have given their time free of charge.

Tickets for the 8pm start are £3. To book, visit the pub or call 01543 416596.
