A comedian is set to return to the stage for a night of laughter and conversation.

Joe Wells will appear at the University of Chichester’s Bishop Otter campus in Chichester on March 5 for an evening of stand-up, conversation and celebration of the many different ways people experience the world.

He will be joined by comedian Abigoliah Schamaun for a live book reading and on-stage discussion.

Josie Maitland, senior lecturer in education and co-lead of the university’s staff neurodiversity group, said: "We’re thrilled to welcome Joe and Abigoliah to Chichester.

"Their work resonates deeply with our commitment to neuro-affirmative practice, inclusion and the amplification of diverse voices.

"It promises to be an evening full of humour, insight and community spirit.

"Staff and students are warmly invited, everybody is welcome."

The event will take place at The Showroom on the Bishop Otter Campus, starting at 7pm.

It promises a blend of stand-up comedy and thoughtful conversation.

The university’s education programmes emphasise inclusion and offer specialist pathways such as the BA (Hons) Education, Special Needs and Disability and the MA Inclusive Special Education.

A university spokesperson said: "Across our education programmes, students can specialise in special needs and inclusion, with inclusive practice embedded throughout the curriculum."
