Heritage Reels: North East Comedy

Wednesday 15 January, 1pm, tickets £4

Archive film about comedians from our region including The Little Waster Makes Good a 1973 Tyne Tees feature about Fatfield’s own Bobby Thompson!

We will also be joined stand up comedian Lee Kyle as he takes you on a journey through some of the odder characters and stories of North East comedy history. The comedian who didn’t want to be funny, the Human Anvil and the Sunderland links to the Kennedy assassination.. and that’s just the obvious stuff!

The region has an amazing comedy story to tell and what happened onstage is only part of it.
