Your summer of laughs starts here: Jesterval, the North East of England’s biggest comedy festival, is returning for its fifth year.
Della Haq, Festival Programmer, spills the beans about the fantastic lineup. From homegrown favourites like Hal Branson, Lee Kyle, Sammy Dobson and Matt Reed to household names Sara Pascoe, Ed Byrne, Zoe Lyons and Gary Delaney. Over half of the tickets are under £10, so there's only a wee charge for enough laughs to make you wee in your pants.
We’re also joined again by Spontaneous Wrecks member Casey Railton, to tell us about Newcastle-based open mic night Babble Gum.
N.E. Thing Funny brings you news, reviews and interviews from the North East of England's comedy scene! Broadcast live every Monday on Spark, powered by the University of Sunderland. Produced by Peff Soulsby and Kate Murphy. With original music composed and produced by Esmé Newman, Audio Witch.
