A Sevenoaks venue is preparing to welcome two comedy stars to its stage.

Funnymen Al Murray and Russell Kane will be headlining two Outside the Box events at the Stag Community Arts Centre.

The celebrity jokers will join the long list of British comedy stars that have performed at the London Road centre over the years.

Al Murray is a very recognisable and successful comic across the UK and is well-known for his alter ego, The Pub Landlord.

He has hosted an array of TV series including Complete for the Meat. His British Comedy Award winning ITV1 series Al Murray’s Happy Hour has delighted both viewers and critics with his no nonsense approach to his celebrity guests.

Russell is no stranger to the Stag and will be returning for his third consecutive year to perform at Outside the Box as part of the Sevenoaks Summer Festival.

He has been described as one of the most energetic comedians working the circuit today and his 'rocket-fuelled' performances can be seen on countless TV screens and festival appearances.

He won the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2010 and the Barry Award for Comedy last year. He also co-presented the series 'Britain Unzipped' alongside Radio 1 DJ Greg James.

Regularly welcoming the biggest, funniest and most famous faces to the Stag, Outside the Box has seen appearances from Greg Davies, Milton Jones and Lenny Henry.

Russel Kane will be performing at Outside the Box on Thursday, July 3 at 8pm. Tickets £18.

Al Murray will be on Wednesday, July 23, 8pm. Tickets also £18.
