The 2010 Newcastle and Gateshead Comedy Festival

The 2010 Newcastle Gateshead Comedy Festival is once again produced by top regional events and promotions company Growling Clown Entertainment

Their is an amazing line up this year with acts including Robin Ince, Chris-Cross, Pete Johansse, Chris Ramsey andMick Sergeant amongst many others

It’s all organised by Warren Speed who has invited Spark FM along to all the fun. Company Director Warren Speed, is also responsible for running the highly succesful Funny Bones stand up comedy clubs in the North East, and after there was no comedy festival in the region in 2005, he stepped up to make sure it returned in 2006.

Says Warren “Comedy has been a major passion of mine for a long time now, and I feel privileged to be able to play such a central role in the return of the festival.  Historically the Newcastle comedy festival was second only to the Edinburgh festival in terms of size and national awareness, and that’s where I would eventually love us to get back to.

“With the close links between Newcastle and Gateshead now, we felt it appropriate to rename the event as the Newcastle Gateshead comedy festival, and we are particularly pleased that the prestigious SageGateshead was keen to get involved.

“As a born and bred North Easterner, who has lived in Newcastle for the last twenty years, I know how much we love to laugh up here, and I hope all of the festival shows bring as much hilarity to the region as I expect they will.

“In 2010 we again have a large and diverse selection of top rated comedians, many of whom have international performing experience, and all of whom I am sure will do a fine job of entertaining their audiences.
