Preston Frog and Bucket to close

Preston’s only dedicated comedy club is to close its doors next month.

The Frog and Bucket, which also has a comedy club in Manchester, has confirmed that it will shut in mid-September after five years in the Lancashire city.

A statement by the comedy club reads: “It’s with massive regret that we are leaving Preston, it’s been a great city to work in and the audiences have been the most fun. It’s an honour to Preston that it’s perceived by comics as one of the best rooms in the country to play. It will be really missed, but it’s time to move on.”

The last show will be on Saturday 13 September with Danny McLoughlin, Alex Boardman, Brennan Reece and Vikki Stone.
