An award-winning competitive comedy show is coming to Stretford town centre
Danny Jones
The award-winning Comedy Sportz show is coming to Stretford this weekend as part of the wider Summer of Sport programme.
With a whole host of events taking place in the nearby Trafford town, the mile-a-minute joke fest lands at Stretford Mall this Saturday (27 July) and is completely free to attend.
The local outfit has grown a loyal cult following with their series of competitive comedy and improv shows, as well as workshops and even musical performances around Greater Manchester.
After picking up the award for Best Alternative Act at the 2023 Manchester Comedy Awards and touring the Edinburgh Fringe Festival circuit, they are now bringing their funny bones back on home turf.
Well, it’s pretty simple really: guests sit down to watch two teams battle it out with quick-witted gags and games, all inspired by suggestions straight from the audience.
There’s even a referee like in any other competitive sport, who is on hand not just to ensure fun for everyone involved but to also dish out penalties for any bad behaviour or wayward jokes.
As always, the Comedy Sportz team will come prepared with sharpened wits and ironed kits, and the winning team will be chosen by the audience on the day.
Each team – red vs blue, of course – has three players and this is your last chance to catch them before they jet off to what will be their 17th appearance at the Fringe.
Whether you’re a big comedy fan or just a lover of some friendly competition in general, the show is perfect for all ages.
Comedy Sportz takes place at Stretford Mall this Saturday, 27 July from 3-5pm in the former Bonmarché unit and is well worth a go if you’ve never tried it before.

What it’s like to go suit shopping at The Trafford Centre’s GIANT new M&S store
Kristen MacGregor-Houlston
It is everyone’s favourite time of year – wedding season. And graduation season. And it is the summer of sport. And all your friends are hosting fancy garden parties now we have a bit of sunshine. Basically, it’s the season of suiting.
If you’re super popular (like I am) you may find yourself at a wedding or event every other weekend this summer and it can be a lot. How do you stand out from the crowd? Will your ex be there? How will I afford it? Well, this is where M&S comes in.
The wonderful team at M&S invited me in to try out their 1-to-1 suit fitting service at their Trafford Centre store.
With another six weddings to go this year, I jumped at the chance to find the perfect suit for me, and something more summery than my usual kegs.
And in case you’ve not been yet, the new M&S is well worth the trip – it’s absolutely massive.
I was welcomed by the fantastic Sagvan, who took me through the different styles they had to offer, with a refreshing array of colours and pastel hues to choose from, the choice was fantastic.
Feeling slightly overwhelmed by the amount of choice, Sagvan recommended we look at the cut of the suit first. He recommended either tailored or slim fit, and we settled on a flashy sky blue tailored fit, and a dusky pink suit I’d had my eye on since walking in.
Sagvan went through all of the sizing and recommended different accessories, shoes and the whole process was both relaxed and helpful.
I ended up with the pink number, which I wore to a wedding last weekend. Let me tell you dear reader, I was the talk of the wedding.
Everyone couldn’t stop complimenting me (I am also very handsome but they were in awe of the suit).

Nobody believed it was from M&S either, with many guests planning their trip to get something similar.
M&S might not classically be your first choice for a suit, but it absolutely should be. The 1-to-1 suit service is available to everyone too, just let the team know when you arrive that you’d like some 1-to-1 advice and they would be happy to help.
This season’s occasion wear at M&S has something for everyone.
So whether it is a garden party with friends, you umpteenth wedding of the year or a day at the races, be sure to check out their vast collection of stylish summer suiting.
