A comedy competition is set to return with a fresh round of laughter and entertainment in Taunton this week.
The fourth heat of Stand Up For Cider will be held at the Creative Innovation Centre on Friday, September 26.
The competition, which has been running since 2014, features up-and-coming comedians performing for a live audience, who vote for their favourite acts.
Trish Caller, organiser from Genius PR and Events, said: "I am super excited about Stand Up For Cider this year.
"We have the best acts and audiences at every show.
"Audience members are given scoring sheets on arrival so they can vote for their favourite amateur comedian on the night.
"The top two or three from each round will then go through to the grand final."
Each night will be hosted by a professional MC and will include a professional headline act from the cream of the UK comedy circuit.
The show is open to amateur and semi-professional comedians and is not open to full-time acts.
Tickets for the show are priced at £13 in advance or £15 on the door, and can be purchased in advance at creativeinnovationcentre.co.uk/comedy-standup/stand-up-for-cider-comedy-show-competition-2025-fri-26th-sept.
Doors will open at 7pm, with the show set to start at 8pm.
The event is supported by sponsors including Berry’s Coaches, Sheppy’s Cider, Somerset County Gazette, Walpole Dunn Chartered Certified Accountants, and Design Bean.
Sheppy's Cider will be available at the bar and awarded as prizes for the competing comedians.
