An internet search comes up with two names for the former Laurel Theater address. ‘Thomas E’ and ‘The Jokes on Us’ comedy club.

An excellent new book on the history of the Regal Cinema has been published in May 2008 by local author Rob Hemming. With over 160 photos and 192pp, the hardback edition of ‘Shazam!’ – The History of a Regal Cinema, is available by contacting the author by e-mail: .uk
