Tanyalee Davis will appear at Chewies Bar, Church Street, on Sunday at 7pm alongside supporting acts Sam Avery and Shell Byron.

Tanyalee, who has a form of dwarfism, was the focus of much media attention recently when she said a Great Western Railway service guard threatened to call the police if she did not leave a disability space.

Chloe Kitson, from Chewies Bar, said: "The Chuckle Club shows are produced by Chris Cordingley who has worked in the comedy business for more than 20 years and is the comedy scout for Britain's Got Talent.

"He uses the many contacts gathered over these years to bring current top comedians of stage and screen to Barnoldswick. Chuckle Club performers have appeared in Phoenix Nights, Live at The Apollo, The John Bishop Show, Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford, The Last Leg, Max and Paddy and many more."

Comedy nights have been running at Chewies since November 2017, hosted by compère Mike Newall on the third Sunday of every month.

The intimate 50-seat venue has attracted big names in the recent past such as Justin Moorhouse, Janice Connolly, Steve Royle, Steve Shanyaski, Damian Clarke, Alun Cochran, Tom Wrigglesworth and Allyson June Smith.
