Northern comedy

Join Graham as he prepares to be put through his paces at comedy boot camp. With his stand-up debut for Comic Relief just a few weeks away, some of the country's top comedians - including Jon Culshaw and Jo Brand - will be giving him their tips on how he can bring the house down.

Graham will be speaking to Rob Bullen
from the flat plains of Thornton-Cleveleys, who's mastered the slopes and has just been named English skiing champion.

And we've been out in the village of Read in Burnley to encourage its residents to do just that - as we give out free books in aid of World Book Night.
