Guildford Entertainment Guide w/c 4th November featuring Jimmy Carr, Othello and more...

Welcome to another instalment in our weekly guide to what's on in Guildford. The main thing to see this weekend might be fireworks but there's also other things just as exciting that are occuring throughout the week such as...

5th November: Rosie Vanier at The Star

Don't like fireworks? Then maybe you'd like to spend your evening in the comfy Star Inn and watch Rosie Vanier in the Live & Loud Bar. Breaking off from her band Rosie and the Goldbug in 2009 has seen her go solo since.

8pm. Tickets are £6. You can purchase tickets via WeGotTickets.

8th November: Jimmy Carr: Laughter Therapy at G Live

Jimmy Carr takes his ninth standup tour to Guildford. Expect an evening of quick-fire one-liners and risque humour. If you're easily offended you may want to think carefully about going but otherwise you're sure to be entertained by a veteran of the comedy circuit.

8pm. Tickets are currently sold out. Call the box office on 0844 7701 797 for ticket availability.
