LIVE theatre is being staged in Widnes.

A comedy for children promises to bring plenty of fun to The Studio on Lacey Street at 6.30pm on Wednesday, May 30.

Funny Looking Kids Comedy Club comes fresh from a well out run at the Bluecoat Arts Centre in Liverpool and Chester Storyhouse.

Expect sketches, jokes, sing-alongs, quizzes, prizes, noises and gales of laughter.

It's an interactive ragtag bag of tomfoolery starring a cast of four, featuring the north west's best loved character comedians, performers and mirth wranglers.

Host Gave Cross said: "It's all about being fresh and funny but not being afraid to be bold and surreal.

"We never talk down to the children.

"We unashamedly want to be entertaining across the board. We want the mums, dads, grannies and grandads to enjoy it just as much as the kids."

Liam Hale, a character and sketch comedian by night and psychology teacher by day, added: "Funny Looking Kids is a sandbox of silliness. Many bits I’ve created I’ve gone on to use for grown

ups, it’s universally funny.

"It’s also great doing a gig with three other talented idiots and good friends.”

Comedian, actor and Rubbish Shakespeare Company director Lee Hithersay, who is one of the performers, added: “Kids have literally fallen off their chairs laughing. We’ve been

praised for creating an environment that all kids feel safe to interact in, and to top it off, we’ve have had children with all abilities tell their own homemade jokes. Honestly, it’s one of the best things I’ve done.”

Funny Looking Kids includes Gav Cross. Lee Hithersay. Liam Hale. Alice Rowbottom. Rob Bond.

The show lasts for one hour and is suitable for children aged seven and over.

Admission is £5.
