An entertainer who has worked around the world with stars ranging from Tim Vine to Paul Daniels to Bear Grylls is to perform at two events in Dereham.

Steve Legg's Tricks and Laughs act combines a unique blend of comedy, tricks and a gospel message and in a 30-year career he has worked on all five continents, appearing on stage, TV and radio.

Steve will be at Dereham Baptist Church on Friday April 21 from 7.30-9.30pm and Saturday April 22 from 8.30-10am.

The Friday stand-up event is called An Evening of Fun and Laughter and is aimed at people of all ages.

The Saturday morning men and boys breakfast will have more comedy and gospel with a breakfast.

Tickets for both events - which are being hosted by Dereham Baptist Church and Love Dereham - are available from Green Pastures bookshop in Norwich Street. The Friday evening tickets cost £5 and the breakfast tickets are £2.

Steve will include a selection of his very best tricks with some brand-new material.

A spokesman said: "Steve's live presentations are always entertaining, intriguing and inoffensive. Steve has worked everywhere from Morecambe to Mexico City, Bournemouth to Buenos Aires, and always leaves people amazed, amused, entertained and inspired.

"The accent is very much on comedy and audience participation. You'll find the laughs come thick and fast - and just when you least expect it, he hits you between the eyes with yet another magical miracle.

"Using a daft and unique blend of side-splitting comedy and sleight of hand Steve manages to combine silly props, audience involvement and baffling world class tricks to give a unique entertainment experience.

"A bottle of tomato ketchup disappears right under your nose. A shuffled deck is thrown around the audience to have several cards merely thought of. Steve correctly names the chosen cards.

"Then there's the amazing mind-reading. A spectator chooses any word, from anywhere in a selected and examined book. That's right, you've guessed it, Steve correctly identifies the word.

"All this and much, much more."
