COMEDIAN Paul Merton is bringing his chums to Crewe Lyceum Theatre on Monday, May 25.

The Mock the Week and TV panel star will be joined on stage by the Impro Chums, Mike McShane, Lee Simpson, Richard Vranch and Suki Webster.

The evening of improvisational comedy will showcase Merton’s quick wit that has made the Impro Chums tour a must-see across the country.

“There is such a thrill in the notion of playing, say, a Bulgarian lion-tamer trying to explain in fractured Spanish that the yoghurt in the fridge has gone off,” Merton said.

“It’s a complete delight.”

Crewe Lyceum Theatre marketing manager Gemma Whalley added: “Crewe loves a good night of comedy and Paul Merton’s Impro Chums promises to beat the Monday blues with fast-paced, non-stop cascades that will leave the auditorium breathless with laughter.”

Tickets for Paul Merton’s Impro Chums are on-sale now. Book via the box office or online at crewelyceum.co.uk
