Johnny plays the St Helens Theatre Royal on July 30 and the St Helens Reporter has two pairs of tickets to giveaway.

The chance to win and enter the competition is available exclusively on our website.

The competition will open until at 5pm on Monday.

Johnny is becoming something of a regular on the St Helens comedy circuit.

His gig at the Theatre Royal is his second hometown concert in recent months following his two sold-out shows at the Citadel in June.

The 37-year-old Thatto Heath-raised funnyman will use the Theatre Royal performance to try out new material for his upcoming DVD – Johnny Vegas Live at the Benidorm Palace.

The Benidorm and Ideal star started his career as a compere at the Citadel's open mic night.

He picked up numerous awards for his stand-up work before moving to TV and acting where he was praised for his performances in Bleak House and Ideal.

An avid Saints fan, Johnny's live comedy appearance have mostly been restricted in recent years to performing at players' testimonial concerts.

To enter, answer the following simple question:

* What area of St Helens does Johnny Vegas hail from?
