COMEDIAN Jasper Carrott is to return to Burnley Mechanics for two nights in May with his Stand Up and Rock show.

The show combines his two great loves - making people laugh and music and sees Jasper returning to stand-up before introducing a live band led by former ELO drummer Bev Bevan who perform rock classics.

The band also includes Geoff Turton from the Rockin’ Berries and singers Abby Brant and Suzi Woo.

The Mechanics hosted one of the first Stand Up and Rock shows in 2013 and the comedian promised that he would return with it at some point.

Jasper Carrott, Stand Up and Rock, Burnley Mechanics, Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19. Details from 01282 664400 or www.burnleymechanics.co.uk
