RIB-tickling comedians will steal the spotlight during a comedy gala next month.

Group Jericho Comedy will host the celebration, inviting back comedians who have erupted from the city’s universities.

Former students boasting comical talent will return to the city, bringing a barrel of laughs with them to the fundraiser on May 11.

Cash raised during the evening of entertainment, set to take place from 7.30pm until 10pm at Norham Gardens’ Simpkins Lee Theatre, will support mental health charity Oxfordshire Mind.

Comedian Josie Long is set to headline the festivities, as well as stand-up act Ivo Graham.
