OO to stand up and be counted for Comic Relief

Optometrist and stand-up comic Sarah Morgan has had her ‘dreams come true’ after being asked to perform on stage at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool on March 24 for Comic Relief.

Morgan, a regular guest on BBC Radio Lancashire with John ‘Gilly’ Gillmore, talking about optometry and eye health, has been asked to headline Gilly’s Comedy Gala and will be introduced by comedy legend Jimmy Cricket.

Gillmore broke the news to Morgan live on air, before informing her that the venue would be the Opera House main stage which hosts 3,000 people, rather than the smaller Studio Theatre stage she was originally anticipating.
