The world of politics will be a target at the next night of stand-up from The Comedy Network at Worthing’s Ritz Studio when political comedians Gráinne Maguire and Matt Ford are joined by Naz Osmanoglu on Friday November 22.

Spokeswoman Gemma Nethersole said: “Comedian, comedy writer and columnist Gráinne Maguire is known for her excitable charm and most recent show at the Edinburgh Festival, Gráinne Maguire’s One Hour All Night Election Show.

“As a self-proclaimed politics nerd and pop culture obsessive, Gráinne knows as much about the coalition government as she does about Cheryl Cole’s relationship choices.
