Top comedy, a swing band and a tea dance: here's three ideas for Thursday fun

It's nearly the weekend — why not indulge in some Thursday fun?

There's plenty going on across West Yorkshire today, whether you fancy some comic entertainment, some swinging tunes or the chance to meet new people!

Here's three ideas to liven up your day:

1. Put on your dancing shoes and head to Beaumont Park: Fancy a waltz? A tango? Or just a simple glide around the dance floor? Head to the Friends of Beaumont Park's monthly social tea dance today at 2pm for some dancing fun. Held at Beaumont Park's visitor centre, the dance costs £3 and refreshments are available for a small charge. Places are limited, so call 01484 645217 to book your place.
   
                 
2. See the Swing Commanders in Halifax: Nicknamed the Kings and Queens of the vintage scene, the Swing Commanders are back to perform 1940s favourites including tracks by the likes of Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters with high energy reworkings. The five-piece jazz and harmony band, originally from Manchester, have toured internationally and are bringing their show to the Square Chapel, Halifax, tonight from 8pm. Tickets cost £15 (£13 concessions) — click here to book.
    

3. Laugh along with John Bishop at Leeds Arena: One of Liverpool's finest comedy exports is in Leeds tonight — and promises 'comedy G-force'. John Bishop is bringing his Supersonic tour to Leeds First Direct Arena, following the success of his Rollercoaster tour which saw the Scouse funnyman perform to 500,000 people. This year he hopes to exceed last year's excitements! Tickets cost £35.45 — click here to book.
