SALISBURY Arts Centre is saving people a long train ride with its Edinburgh Comedy Preview.

In the first comedy event of 2014 the centre will welcome Lucy Beaumont and Jarlath Regan.

The comics will be testing their new material ahead of the Edinburgh Festival.

Beaumont is a comedy actor, stand-up and writer. She won last year’s BBC New Comedy Award and has recently won the Chortle Award for Best Newcomer. She has toured nationally and appeared in series 2 of Live at the Electric (BBC3) this year.

An award-winning comedian, writer and broadcaster, Regan has gained a reputation for his uplifting, inventive and relentlessly funny stand-up. Tickets cost £9.
