Tickets have gone on sale for the Happy Christmas Ipswich Comedy and Music show in December which is said to be "bigger, bouncier and more fun than ever before".

Spearheaded by comedian Griff Rhys Jones, who lives in Suffolk, the Christmas spectacular is back at the Regent Theatre on Monday, December 5.

The event, in aid of East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH), raised £92,000 for the children's charity last year, with celebrities such as Stephen Fry, Johnny Vegas, Eddie Izzard and West End performer Ruthie Henshall.

Griff said: "After the success of the last two outings, we're going for a third Happy Christmas Ipswich.

"Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without it and it's going to be bigger, bouncier and more fun than ever before.

"It'll be quite a present for a really important service.

"I love doing it, the stars love doing it, and we're so lucky to have such incredible line-ups."

While musicians and comedians are yet to be announced, Griff promises there will be a "cornucopia of comedy".
