Lighthouse is bringing the funny as new comedy shows announced

There's a mood of optimism in the air as we carefully follow the roadmap out of lockdown and thoughts again turn to coming together to be entertained and have fun. 

Lighthouse, Poole’s centre for the arts, is ready to play its part as it announces two brand-new comedy shows on sale this week: 

• Jonathan Pie: Fake News (Corona Remix) Thursday 28 October 2021. 7.30pm. Concert Hall. He’s the exasperated news reporter whose videos have been seen by millions all over the world. Now, Jonathan Pie returns to the road to discuss how Corona has changed the world – and his career prospects – in the critically acclaimed sell out show updated and remixed for a post-Corona world. 

• Jayde Adams: The Ballad of Kylie Jenner’s Old Face. Thursday 28 October 2021, 8pm, Sherling Studio. As seen hosting Channel 4’s Snackmasters and Crazy Delicious, in her brand-new show comedian Jayde Adams rifles through all the noise and self-promotion to figure out what’s actually going on.
