ticket offers

We have five pairs of tickets to give away for the following shows:

The Cheese Shop's (I Can't Believe It's Not) The Butter Factor (5pm Gilded Balloon II, venue 96) in which the soon-to-be Radio 4 sketch-artists return after last year's sell-out;

Fantastic Voyage (5.30pm Pleasance, venue 33), a tribute to the fantasy special effect of Ray Harryhausen from the team that devised the delightfully silly Thunderbirds FAB.

n To take advantage of either of these offers, take a copy of today's 'Independent' to the relevant box-office. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis
