A REDDITCH magician is looking for the next next Sarah Millican or Kathryn Ryan and believes they could be living in Redditch.

A new stand up comedy venue will be opening its doors at The Palace Theatre and would be comics are being encouraged to come and have a go.

Henn Nights, organised by Steve Henn, launches later this month.

Steve says anyone can come along and do whatever they want - as long as it's funny.

"I have seen people read children's books and eat custard at the same time," he said.

"So yes anything and everyone is welcome… the weirder the better. I have two spots available for October 19 and you can do anything you want."

He added: “As well as up and coming stand ups from the circuit and a couple of special guests I am looking for funny local people who would like to perform in front of an appreciative warm audience.”

Henn Nights starts on Friday, October 19 at the studio at the Palace Theatre.

Tickets are on sale now from £6.50.

The show starts at 7.45pm and will be hosted by Steve.
