ROB Brydon is coming to Warrington as part of his first stand-up tour since an acclaimed stint in 2009 and 2010.

The 52-year-old’s latest show is about ageing but he is also known for toying with the crowd and tailoring his material to the town or city he is playing in.

So expect plenty of jokes about Warrington when Rob's I Am Standing Up tour comes to the Parr Hall on March 8.

The Welsh comedian and actor is best known for Gavin and Stacey, Would I Lie To You? and The Trip with Steve Coogan as well as Marion and Geoff, Human Remains, Little Britain, The Rob Brydon Show, Best of Men, Gangster Granny and Q.I.

His film work includes The Huntsman : Winter’s War, Cinderella and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Earlier this year in London’s West End he starred opposite Kenneth Branagh in The Painkiller.
