New Preston arts venue Artch Studios will host two nights of shows on June 12 and 13 featuring stand-up comedy, spoken word and performances.

Performers from the seven shows are travelling from across the country to perform in Preston

These shows build on the success of Garry Cook's previous work in the city, bringing world-class Edinburgh Fringe shows to Preston as part of Lancashire Fringe Festival.

Garry said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to put on these two nights of Edinburgh Fringe preview shows.

"This is something I've wanted to do for a long time - so to get the opportunity to do it at Artch Studios is brilliant.
