COMEDIAN and long-serving captain on the BBC's chaotic music quiz Nevermind the Buzzcocks Phill Jupitus is going to performing at Lynton Town Hall.

Phill will be playing on Saturday December 12 at 7.30pm as part of his current tour and tickets cost £17.50.

His career as a performer began in 1984 when he quit his job as a civil servant to follow a new direction as a performance poet on the alternative comedy circuit and supporting bands such as The Style Council and The Housemartins. During the late '80s he worked with Billy Bragg, directing videos for both Bragg and Kirsty MacColl.

Phill has an abiding love and in-depth knowledge of popular music, particularly ska, bluebeat and rhythm and blues. His hugely successful standup tours have included Jedi, Steady, Go and Quadrophobia, and he has worked extensively on radio, variously as a contributor, panellist and presenter. He has also toured as part of The Blockheads line-up.
