IN the latest Cornish Times we are running a competition in which a lucky reader can win a pair of tickets to see top comedian, musician, actor and TV and radio presenter Bill Bailey’s show at the Plymouth Pavilions early next year.

It’s being run in conjunction with our support of the international Movember campaign championing the cause of men’s health and welfare. So all you have to do to enter is to get on board the campaign by growing the best moustache during the month of November and send us your before and after pictures so we can judge the result.

The winner will also receive an engraved plaque commemorating their best Mo-growing achievement.

As for the winner’s tickets, Bill Bailey’s Larks in Transit show, to be staged at the Pavilions on Saturday, February 24, is a compendium of travellers’ tales and memories of general shenanigans from his 20 years as a comedian.

In the show he fashions a symphony from a ringtone, tells the real story of Old McDonald, and a reimagines the Stars and Stripes. It’s memories of two decades of touring larks from a comic described by a national newspaper as ‘the brainiest comic of his generation’.

For more details about how you can enter the competition and take part in the Movember Foundation campaign to stop men dying too young, see this week’s issue of the Cornish Times in shops now.
