WITH mid March almost upon us a hat-trick of modern day jesters are about to land here for laughs.  POP IN FOR A LAUGH: Adam Bloom is a stand-up veteran with a cunning brand of comedy and famous admirers Ahead of its monthly five-date road-trip of comedy shows - the Tickle Your Funny Bone Tour - we cast an eye on the latest Laughter Factory line-up.

You have a few more weeks to discover why at a special exhibition in the UAE, celebrating his work and unique style, nearly 30 years after his death.
