VILLAGERS near York are having the last laugh as their village hall becomes a mecca for some of comedy's biggest stars.
Elvington’s modest village hall - with just 140 seats - has been regularly packed to capacity since clinical pharmacist and entertainment promoter Andy Owen staged the first Comedy Night back in 2014.
Andy’s headline act that night was Britain’s Got Talent runner-up and Phoenix Nights guest star Steve Royle.
And in news to bring a smile to locals' faces, Steve is coming back to Elvington on Saturday July 17 for two one-hour family shows.
All proceeds from the ticket sales are going to a good cause - to boost funds for Elvington Under 5’s playgroup that needs a new roof.
