A FUNDRAISING variety show to raise cash for local community groups and good causes has been given the green light to return this year after it was cancelled last year due to the pandemic.

Weymouth & Portland Lions Club’s Annual Variety Show is set to take place on Tuesday, November 30 at the Weymouth Pavilion Theatre, with curtain up at 7.30pm.

The acts this year include: Let’s Dance, Tamara Konstantin and violinist, Wessex Musical Theatre, Decadettes, Ann & Norman, Wyke Ukedelics and Replay, featuring special guest star, Ben Waters.

Lions Club president, Kevin Brookes, said: “After a very difficult year, it’s a great relief that we are finally able to get back to doing what we all love to do as Lions, and that is serving people. At the end of the day, we are all just ordinary people doing amazing things.”

Lion Club Show chairman, Lion Norman Stagles, said: “This year’s line-up is as strong as ever. As a club, we are grateful to all the artists, performers, singers, and dancers for giving up their time for free, for the benefit of the community. Thank you.”

Tickets are priced at £5 each and will be available from the Pavilion Theatre box office from November 1.

There will be a Lions collection after the show and all monies raised will be used by the Lions Club for the benefit of the local community and Lions-supported charities and appeals worldwide.
