A magician and a ventriloquist helped to make it a night of real variety at a show staged in a church in Kent.
Steve Hewlett and Mark Shortland performed at St Margaret’s Church of England in Rainham, along with famous funnyman Jimmy Cricket.
Steve, a ventriloquist from Basingstoke in Hampshire, was a finalist on the seventh series of Britain’s Got Talent.

Mark is a comedic magician who auditioned for both Series 10 and 14 of Britain’s Got Talent.
He was 51 years old at the time of his second audition, which was televised.
