Last night Jack Dee entertained a full house with his dry witted comedy style, It was a brilliant night enjoyed by all and of course he signed our Green Room wall......

We're having a great season of comedy so far at the theatre and were chuffed when Jon Richardson signed our wall of fame. He's in good company with Lee Evans, Greg Davies, Alan Carr, Dave Gorman and many other top comedians who have signed our wall.

Over the next few months we hope to bring your more exclusive photos!
