THE Fizzogs are going back on the road with the 50 Per Cent Funnier Comedy Tour, featuring many of the personalities from previous sell-out shows such as the Ode Folk, Mags and Barb, the School Kids, Wayne Kerr and compere Barbara Nice (aka TV Janice Connolly).

New to the shows are the Burlesque Dance Troup, who blend some Black Country grit with exotic, flirty and feisty choreography. Jacky Fellows, co-founder of the Quarry Bank-based company, said: “This is our most ambitious project yet and promises more characters, more venues and, most importantly, more laughter.”

The tour dates are February 9 Bridgnorth Theatre on The Steps; February 10 Netherton Arts Centre; February 16 Birmingham Old Rep; February 17 Netherton Arts Centre; February 24 Newhampton Arts Centre, Wolverhampton; February 25 Newhampton Arts Centre, Wolverhampton.

Tickets cost £15 and are available from the venues.
