Snooker fans are jetting off to a Wetherspoons dupe to play against icon Ken Doherty, who is charging £23 for a frame and a signed picture.
The 56-year-old former world champion, who has six ranking titles, is heading 6,000 miles across the world for a meet and greet. The event is hosted at an imitation of the iconic chain of cheap boozers, called Witherspoons.
The pub located in Pattaya, Thailand, is hosting a £23.71 evening with Ken Doherty, as reported by What’s The Jam. The event with the ‘Darling of Dublin’ will start at 7pm on March 19.

The £23.71 price includes a signed photo and a chance to play a frame with the 1997 world champion. Only 30 lucky punters will be able to play the star – with a limit of 30 frames set for the evening.
The pub is a massive hit with Brits abroad, charging just £2.83 for pints.
A spokesperson for Witherspoons said: “This March, snooker legend Ken Doherty, the Darling of Dublin and former World Champion, is coming to Witherspoons Pattaya for a special one-night event on Soi Buakhao.
“And this isn’t just a meet and greet. You can actually step up and play him.
