COMICS FROM ACROSS CULTURES UNITE FOR LAUGHS

The Laughter Factory returns with its My Big Fat Greek Tour, featuring Angelo Tsarouchas, a Canadian funnyman with Greek origins, who has tips on how to live life to the fullest. Japanese comedian Yuriko makes her debut appearance in the region and introduces some Japanese humour to the desert; and British favourite Paul Thorne (pictured) makes a rare trip out of London to share some political incorrectness.
