Lighten up those dreary January nights with a comedy night at the Landmark Theatre in Ilfracombe. Rising comic stars Charlie Baker and Josh Widdicombe, who both draw inspiration from their Devon upbringings, are set to play at the venue on Saturday 28 January 2012.

Let's Dance for Comic Relief 2011 winner Charlie Baker makes up one half of the dynamic Devon duo performing at the Landmark Theatre this January.
-
Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer nominee 2011 and Chortle Best Breakthrough Act nominee 2011 Devonian boy Josh Widdicombe, makes up the other half of the cream of the crop comic pairing.
Charismatic, hyperactive funny man, Charlie Baker stepped into the limelight after tapping his way to victory on Lets Dance for Comic Relief 2011. The Jack Black lookalike hails from Newton Abbot and is a stand-up comedian and compere as well as a highly acclaimed Jazz singer and musician. Mixing his comedy, musical and acting talents Charlie combines an incredible mix of jokes, song and dance in a routine that has been described as, 'a superior take on the modern showman'.
If you were lucky enough to get tickets to Alan Carr at the Queen's Theatre last April, you'll already be aware of the talents of his sterling supporting act Josh Widdicombe. Since his first gig in January 2008, Josh has had a remarkable impact on the comedy circuit. Taking inspiration from his upbringing in a rural area of Dartmoor, in just three years he has been named FHM Stand Up Hero 2010 (ITV4), Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2010 and after just a handful of gigs made it to the final of the prestigious So You Think You're Funny final at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2008. Now regarded as one of the best up-and-coming acts on the UK circuit, Josh is in constant demand at clubs and theatres across Britain and regularly supports huge comic talent such as Kevin Bridges and Michael McIntyre.
This double-dose of Devon comedy comes at the bargain cost of just £11! For further information or to book, call the Box Office on 01271 324242 or visit www.northdevontheatres.org.uk
