Funny woman Jo Brand is coming to Colchester.

Tickets go on sale today from 10.30am for the gig, which will take place at the Colchester Arts Centre on June 9.

Currently on an extensive UK tour, the Colchester date has been added to her list of appearances at the last moment and is another coup for the venue which has seen the likes of Eddie Izzard, Jack Dee and Ben Elton perform there.

Jo is widely recognised for her numerous live shows and television appearances. More recently, she has received great critical acclaim for her novel, Sorting Out Billy.

Tickets are £15, limited to two per customer, which are available by calling 01206 500900 or in person at the venue's box office.
