LYME REGIS: Panel show regular Shappi Khorsandi will stop off at the Marine Theatre on her UK tour next month.

Shappi has featured on Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, QI and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow - and is back on the bard due to popular demand following a successful tour last year and a sold out run at the Soho Theatre.

Her new show, Because I'm Shappi, will reflect on the good things as Shappi celebrates her haphazard, zigzag journey towards her dreams. She will introduce us to friends, family and total strangers who have helped her on her personal Yellow Brick Road.

Shappi has whip-crack jokes in her repertoire - and is effortlessly funny as she handles every subject with a razor sharp wit, softened only by her deliciously mischievous delivery and endless charm.

She has also been nominated at the prestigious British Comedy Awards in the Best Female Comic category, up against Jo Brand and Sarah Millican. Shappi is also a best-selling author following the success of A Beginners Guide to Acting English.
