TOP comedy acts continue to play in the city as part of the popular LOL (Laugh Out Loud) Festival.

At the Northcott Theatre on January 22 will be raconteur and TV personality Nicholas Parsons, who will be bringing his A Laugh A Minute show to the stage.

The performance has been described as irrepressible, outrageous, surprising and hilarious, as Nicholas shares his experiences of an unpredictable and fascinating life in show business.

His ability to laugh at himself and see the humour in his early life and struggles to be an actor, while serving an engineering apprenticeship in the harsh world of Clydeside, combined with many showbiz anecdotes is a constant joy and the humorous revelations keep his audience enthralled.

The Laugh Out Loud Comedy Festival is now in its third year and boasts an exciting selection of stand-up, sketch comedy and open mic sessions, featuring some of the biggest names in cutting-edge British comedy.

The festival takes place in venues right across the city and beyond, including the Exeter Phoenix, Exeter Corn Exchange, Bike Shed Theatre and many more. For more information, visit www.lolfestival.co.uk
