The Durham Performing Arts Centre will be playing host to a very special show from Cedric the Entertainer on December 1st.

While the hugely charismatic actor and comic boasts a universal appeal, he will also be supported by Malik S and special guest JJ Williamson.

This should ensure that the show has something to please everyone - so comedy fans will undoubtedly be travelling to Durham in their droves to catch it.

Entry prices start at $45 plus booking fees for the cheap seats, while the best views in the house can be enjoyed for $100.

Visitors to the city who are looking for a place to stay would do well to consider booking rooms at the Millennium Hotel Durham.

This is because it is conveniently situated just four miles away from the venue - and the distance can be covered in less than ten minutes by jumping in a taxi.
