AN AWARD-WINNING radio star is bringing his brand new show to Poole on Monday, September 16.

John Finnemore is the writer and lead of the BBC Radio shows John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, Cabin Pressure and John Finnemore's Double Acts. The Reading-born actor also features regularly on other Radio 4 programmes, including The Now Show.

His eponymous tour, John Finnemore's Flying Visit, will see the much-loved comedy writer performing new sketches and old favourites, accompanied by guests from his Souvenir Programme.

John is also promising an appearance from Cabin Pressure's Arthur Shappey, the least helpful steward in the skies.

Of his tour, John says: "Kids are welcome, if they laugh in the right places. That goes for adults too!"

The show begins at 7.30pm in the Theatre of Lighthouse, Poole's Centre for the Arts. Tickets cost £26.75.
