One man joke machine and supporter of Sutton’s Theatres Tim Vine is returning to the town at the end of the month for two nights of rapid-fire gags at The Secombe’s Back Door studio.

While his brother – Eggheads presenter Jeremy – is busy training for Strictly, former Epsom College student Tim’s gigs on September 28 and 30 are sure to be a hot ticket.
