Review: Isy Suttie: Love Lost In The British Retail Industry – Durham Gala Theatre

If you like your comedy with a musical edge then look no further than Isy Suttie. It’s a one woman and her guitar type of show. She takes you through songs about trips to Ikea with your partner, a unique and dark version of ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ and an unlikely medieval love song about a Slovenian prince and English maiden – I don’t know where she gets these ideas either.

Preview: Whitley Bay Playhouse Comedy Listings

The newly refurbished Playhouse is centred in right in the middle of Whitley Bay’s culture section just off Spanish city and the coast, the theatre itself is a lovely, spacious, modern venue seating around 600 and has hosted many comedy nights since its rebirth from newer, more cutting edge and thought provoking comics such as Chris Addison and Jim Jefferies to old favourites such as Jethro and Ken Dodd.
