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.

Review: John Scott, John Whale, Nick Cranston and Gary Delaney – The Barnes, Sunderland

Having never previously been to a Grinning Idiot comedy night I didn’t really know what to expect, but I not disappointed. The event was held upstairs in The Barnes in Sunderland, and proved to be a nice little venue that really added to the feel of the evening.

Review: The Boy With Tape On His Face and Jason Cook – Stockton Arc

After the impressive reviews and word of mouth recommendations relatively unknown act ‘The Boy With Tape On His Face’ received during last month’s Edinburgh festival I jumped at the opportunity to catch him performing at Teesside’s most famous comedy club.

For those not familiar with Adam Hills’ work, the Spicks & Specks host usually goes to great lengths to craft structured, considered shows.
