COMEDY royalty Eddie Izzard was the guest of Barnsley College students as the site hosted a dinner for Labour mayoral candidate Oliver Coppard’s campaign.
The 60-year-old joined supporters of Mr Coppard - son of former Barnsley Council chief executive Phil - at the college’s The Open Kitchen last Thursday night.
Barnsley East MP Stephanie Peacock said it was a ‘wonderful evening’ and congratulated students on their efforts.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
