CULT comedian Frank Sidebottom will be in Blackburn on August 31 when he appears at the North Bar.

He may have been out of the public eye but he has certainly been busy in that time working for Hot Animation, the company that make Bob The Builder and Pingu.

He has even just completed his own new animated TV show that will be on our screens in the future.

But, of course, he is also well known for his numerous TV shows such as Frank's Fantastic Shed Show and Remote Control as well as featuring on Saturday morning programmes such as What's Up Doc and Motormouth.

Timperley's finest will be singing a collection of his self-penned songs as well as giving his views on how to live your life the Frank way.

The only mystery is whether or not Little Frank will turn up on the night?

A fine evening's entertainment will also include an acoustic set from Vinny Peculiar and highly-rated Lovelacer playing live.

Frank Sidebottom plays North Bar in Blackburn on Thursday, August 31. Tickets for the night are £5.
