Craig Campbell to perform at 2014 Barnard Castle Meet

Canadian stand-up Craig Campbell is heading to Barnard Castle next month – as part of the town’s spring celebrations.

Every second bank holiday in May – Whit weekend – the market town is swamped with families for the Barnard Castle Meet, a weekend of music and performing arts.

And this year sees Campbell bring his new show, Thrilling Mic Hunt, to The Witham on Saturday 24 May.

Peter Dixon, of Funny Way To Be, said: “Craig was a massive success for us on an earlier tour.

“He has a very loyal fan base and has been such a hit at festivals all over the world that we thought he’d be an ideal choice for our Whit weekend show.”

Support on the night comes from Steve Bowditch.

Tickets for Craig Campbell: Thrilling Mic Hunt are on general sale now from funnywaytobe.com, priced £12 in advance.
