Laugh Out Loud as Stewkley drama group bring sketch show to the stage for 134th production

A village drama group are inviting the audience to Laugh Out Loud as they bring a varied show of sketches to the stage for their 134th production later this month.

Stewkley Players, who have been presenting plays for the village since 1955, are performing a sketch show entitled Laugh Out Loud at Stewkley Village Hall from November 25 to 28.

The show features 38 sketches based on a variety of genres of comedic material, and are being performed by more than 30 members of the group.

They are set in environments including doctors surgeries, shops, urinals and train stations, and with some sketches only lasting a minute or two it promises to be a fast-paced evening of entertainment.

Explaining the idea behind this unique show producer Tony Crack said: "Laughter is infectious, with people joining in at different times in different ways.

"Comedy plays have funny, even hilarious lines and scenes, but they have to be set into a descriptive background with a start, middle and finale.

"I wanted to see if I could give people as much continual comedy and humour as we could muster in one barrage.

"The result is a cast of more than 30 members giving everything they have to perform some 38 sketches honed, cut, chopped and spliced together from all genres of comedic material I could find.

"I hope that you come and see what it looks like and that it makes you Laugh Out Loud."

Tickets are on sale now for the performances of Laugh Out Loud, which are taking place nightly from Wednesday 25th to Saturday 28th November at Stewkley Village Hall.

Doors open at 7.30pm, with the show starting at 8pm, while a licensed bar will be open before the show and during the interval.

A raffle will be running on each performance night, while tea, coffee, hot chocolate and ice-cream will be available.

Tickets cost £8.50 and are available by visiting the Ticketsource website or by phoning 0333 666 3366.
