THE Palace Theatre in Redditch is hosting the award-winning New York comic Lewis Schaffer.

So what’s special about his show... well he’s free until famous, so you can claim two free tickets for a great night out!

Lewis Schaffer was one of the top comics in the home of stand-up comedy, New York City.

But a short visit to London in 2000 went very wrong when love and marriage took him from his beloved New York and gave him children, divorce and heartache in the UK.

Now trapped in Nunhead, a suburb of Peckham, Lewis Schaffer is making the worst of a bad situation.

Lewis Schaffer isn't a tourist. He isn't here on business. He's a hostage.

Lewis Schaffer's free-wheeling style, often described as "jazzy", makes every show different and thrilling.

The show, suitable for those aged 16 plus, is on Friday, May 8 at 8pm.

Tickets are available in person or at the box office on 01527 65203 free of charge (maximum two tickets) upon receipt of an email address.
