Comedy has a long tradition in Blackpool, which has its own comedy club, while this summer sees acts as diverse as Roy “Chubby” Brown, Billy Pearce and Ricky Tomlinson.

Whatever treasures are to be found in Greece, Spain and Turkey, none of them can add the tradition of live comedy shows to sun, sea and English fryups.
