Last chance to catch silliness and sketches

If you haven't yet sampled the delights of Oppo Comedy, you'd better be quick – this Sunday's instalment of the weekly comedy session is the last one before a long summer break.

As well as stand-up slots from a mixture of rising stars and nervous new talent, the evening features sketches, silliness and much more – compered by two of Bristol's most engaging comics, Fin Taylor and Jared Hardy.

This session features Edinburgh Festival preview sets from one fine local name (Mat Ewins) and one rising star from across the border in Wales – the articulate, engagingly bemused Elis James, pictured. As ever, it's a paltry £2 to get in. Sample it now, or regret it the whole summer long…

Oppo Comedy Sunday, June 10, Channings Hotel, Clifton, Bristol. See listings for details.

A week of Edinburgh previews draws to a close with a set from Seann Walsh, a highly physical stand-up with the warped world view of a Dylan Moran or Rhod Gilbert. A second batch of previews will touch down at the Wardrobe from 9-13 July: check future issues for more details.
