As anyone who has ever tried to put together an Ikea wardrobe knows, there aren’t many things that come out of Sweden that are good for a laugh.

It’s a country better known for stylish design, sexual liberation and social equality – but Tobias Perrson hopes to change your mind.

He’s one of the acts on the bill at this month’s Lastminute comedy shows which head into Baldock on Thursday, and then move on to Hitchin and Letchworth on successive evenings.

Also appearing at The Orange Tree in Baldock, Woodside Hall in Hitchin and Letchworth Arts Centre is Tim Clark, with regular compere Paul B. Edwards linking it all together.

Doors open for all shows at 7.30pm for an 8.30pm start, and tickets are £10.

You can book advance tickets to the Letchworth show only – visit www.letchwortharts.org or call 01462 670788 during office hours. Visit lastminutecomedy.wordpress.com for more.r
