Will will be joined on stage by writer Matthew De Abaitua. Together they will tackle burning issues such as: What is exactly new about the New Year? Do Cameron and Clegg share the same photocopier user number? And are Kylie Minogue and Rolf Harris the same person?

Performance poet and storyteller Paul Lyalls will host the evening, and guest support comes from Liz Bentley.
