Comedian Andrew Lawrence is heading to Barnard Castle this May – as part of the town’s spring celebrations.

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

And this year sees Lawrence bring his tour show, Andrew Lawrence is Coming To Get You, to the Parish Hall on Saturday 25 May.

Lawrence last performed in the town in 2011, also for Funny Way To Be Comedy Club.

Organiser Peter Dixon, who runs the comedy club in Barnard Castle, said: “It’s great news that we’re bringing Andrew back to the region.

“We had him at Funny Way To Be in 2011 for our comedy club night, and he was so good then we jumped at the chance of bringing him back for the Meet.

He added: “He was on with four other comics then, but Andrew’s grown so much in the past couple of years that he’s got the night all to himself now.

“It should be a real treat.”

The show starts at 8.00pm, with entry priced at £10.

Tickets for Andrew Lawrence at the Parish Hall, Barnard Castle, are available online at funnywaytobe.com, at the Information Point at Woodleigh and the Old Well Inn in Barnard Castle.
