Glasgow-born Larry Dean is a former Scottish Comedian of the Year . The cornerstone of his upbeat act is about being an atypical gay man, but this promising comic has plenty more to offer in his engaging, fun sets. Danny Ward's observational humour is one of the new breed of comics not reliant on smut or swearing. Kicking off the evening will be Windsor, who will acting as MC for the evening.

In a nod to the young players there will also be Les comédiens by Kabalevsky, a key figure in Soviet musical education.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen's witty and romantic masterpiece is one of the best-loved stories of all time, dealing with the most important questions in life... The Pantaloons bring their own production outdoors at Fairhaven and, for the fifth consecutive year, at Sheringham Park. Will Mrs Bennett manage to offload her numerous daughters in record time? Will Lizzy and Darcy actually get together? Will creepy Mr Collins just go away please? The literary classic gets the full Pantaloons treatment in what is sure to be a hilariously innovative new adaptation.
