Bill Bailey, Tony Hadley and Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds are among major performances at Ipswich Regent Theatre before Christmas.

Ipswich Regent Theatre is preparing for a busy schedule of major performances before Christmas, with nationally renowned musicians and comedians set to visit the town.

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds will visit the Regent. The production combines live music, dramatic storytelling and large-scale visual effects to recreate the story of a Martian invasion from H.G. Wells's science-fiction novel. Since first being released as a concept album in 1978, the production has developed a huge following and has sold millions of records worldwide.

The Proclaimers, Scottish twins Craig Reid and Charlie Reid, will perform at the Regent. The pair are among Britain's most recognisable musical acts, with a career spanning more than four decades. They are best known for hit songs including 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)', 'Letter from America' and 'Sunshine on Leith'.

Comedy heavyweight Harry Enfield will bring his latest live tour to Ipswich as part of a nationwide run of dates. The comedian has been a familiar face on British television for decades and has created some of comedy's most memorable characters.
