A lively hour with the two writers behind the Beano, who share their tips for creating funny stories and comic strips and get the audience helping to make a brand-new Dennis the Menace strip. Children can meet them afterwards. Recommended for ages 6 and up. Part of Manchester Literature Festival, so tickets are booked through the festival's website.
