It is a busy weekend at the Century Theatre in Coalville.

On Friday, the Ashby Road venue is showing The Miracle Club (12A).

Set in Ballygar, Ireland in 1967 where a hard-knocks community in outer Dublin marches to its own beat, rooted in traditions of loyalty, faith and togetherness.

There's just one tantalising dream for the women of Ballygar to taste freedom and escape the gauntlet of domestic life: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes.

And with a little benevolent interference from their cheeky and rebellious priest, close friends Lily, Eileen, Dolly and Sheila are the 'lucky' few to win this ticket of a lifetime at their riotous local raffle night.

The Century's Fabulous Funhouse Comedy returns on Saturday – with a great line-up guaranteed to get you giggling.

The line up features Markus Birdman, a brilliant touring international comic with captivating, hilarious stories, who made the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent in 2023.

Lloyd Griffith is a multi-talented entertainer and ex-choir boy with numerous TV appearances, including previous co-host of Soccer AM on Sky Sports. Has also supported Jack Whitehall on his theatre and arena tours.

Jules O'Brian is a very funny lady, with wonderfully funny and outrageous stories about being a 50-something single mother of three.
