Following exceptional demand for his March show, comedian Chris McCausland has announced a second Ipswich performance of his "Yonks!" tour at the Regent Theatre.

Why it matters: The addition of a new date on 23 April gives more local comedy fans the chance to see one of Britain's fastest-rising comedy stars.
