A NEW comedy club is coming to Knutsford, with a Game of Thrones star headlining the first bill.

The evening, set up by comedy group Rib Ticklers, will run once a quarter at the Cross Keys in King Street.

Alanna Jade Cooper, who hosts the weekly quiz night at Cross Keys, is involved with the group and will make up one of the acts on the line-up alongside Nick Banks, Kate McAbe and Ben Crompton, who plays Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch in the popular HBO series.

Nick, who co-runs the Rib Ticklers, told the Guardian that the gig will be ‘intimate’ and should draw in a good crowd thanks to its headlining star.

“Everybody seems to be really up for it,” he said. “There are a lot of Game of Thrones fans out there.”

The club puts on gigs all across England from the Scottish borders down to Cornwall.

The first event will take place on Saturday, October 15 with doors opening from 7pm. Tickets are £10. For more information visit ribticklers.club
