Stand-up star Chris McCausland is set to perform his brand-new show "Yonks!" at the Regent Theatre in Ipswich on 18 March 2025. The comedian, known for his sharp wit and TV appearances, promises another night of masterclass comedy.
Why it matters: McCausland's last tour was a sell-out, and his "rising star" status makes this a must-see event for comedy fans in Ipswich.
The big picture: Despite being called an "overnight success", McCausland has been honing his craft for over two decades, or as he puts it, "bloody yonks".
Key details:
The show is part of McCausland's 2024 tour.
It promises to be another "masterclass in stand-up comedy".
Tickets are now on sale, with organisers encouraging early booking due to expected high demand.
