Local pastor Phil Emerson said: “We are thrilled that the Care for the Family team are bringing laughter to Lurgan, and that we can provide a venue for this fabulous event for all the community. My family, like many others, is looking forward to this night of fun.”

Rob Parsons, founder of Care for the Family, said: “This event is all about bringing a little bit of sunshine into our lives. So often the power of laughter can be key to strengthening families. I’ll share humorous stories and lessons of family life gained from speaking with many parents from around the world.”

He is described by comedian Tim Vine as “one of the funniest men I know”.
