IT'S arguably the biggest concert draw on the circuit at the moment and it's certainly one hell of a show with which to re-open the newly-refurbished BIC.

Little Britain finally arrives on the Windsor Hall stage to open a four-night run on Thursday.

Originally created for radio by Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the comedy sketch show has made itself a part of Britain's cultural make up since its television debut. Phrases like "Want that one", or "yeahbutnobutyeah" are part of our everyday language and characters like Lou and Andy, Vicky Pollard and Dafydd, the only gay in the village, are instantly recognisable.

At once satirical and surreal, Little Britain paints a sometimes painfully accurate snapshot of the country that takes real situations and skews them into a comedy goldmine.

This is Little Britain's first arena tour, with previous live outings confined to one-off charity shows and Comic Relief.
