“The free tickets were all allocated within a couple of days of them being made available. There are going to be around 300 people there, it’s at full capacity.
“The atmosphere is going to be fantastic!
“The idea for the gig came from Mark and Lyn Cunningham, from Anthony James Estate Agents, who are sponsoring this year’s Southport Comedy Festival.
“When they first got involved, they said they really wanted to put on a special gig for NHS staff and care workers because they felt that they have had it really tough during the Covid pandemic.

“Mark and Lyn were determined to hold it this year instead.”
The NHS staff and care workers attending the Thumbs Up For The NHS comedy night are in for a treat.
