Comedian Bobby Ball will be appearing in a cabaret to raise the profile of Christianity in Chippenham.

The cabaret, at 7.30pm at Neeld Hall in the Borough Parade, is the fifth annual event for the Cabaret Connexion faith group.

Organiser David Sandberg, said: "This is a great opportunity to hear stories of faith in a laid-back setting.

"So far people from at least 13 different churches have booked tables so Saturday looks to be a sell-out.

"All over the country people are experimenting with new ways of approaching church. The cabaret hits the spot for fun and faith."

Mr Ball, one half of the comedy duo, Canon and Ball, became a Christian in 1986 and now uses his talents to promote his faith.

He says: "I want to show people that being a Christian isn't boring."
