The Bognor Institute of Laughter was launched in December 2017 with the ambition of developing a comedy club in Bognor; to encourage, nurture and showcase talent from within the local community especially in people who have either been out of work for a long period of time, are affected by mental-health issues, disabilities or learning difficulties.

Director Hilary Strong said: “This is our first big public event and we’re delighted with the way the script has come to life.

“The play has been designed to promote happy memories of Bognor Regis as well as hopefully being very funny!

“Thanks to funding from West Sussex County Council, the Esmee Fairburn Trust and many individual donors, this family-friendly comedy play is about to begin a whistle stop tour of Bognor Regis day care centres, including; the Age UK Laburnum Centre and Sage House, Dementia Support.”
