Darlington Comedy Festival

Cult Geordie comedian of over 25 years, Gavin Webster is finally doing a tour, a World tour to be exact.

A massive influence on the stand up scene on Tyneside he’s decided to bring his guitar, ukulele, book of poetry and his barrow load of quick fire jokes and surreal routines along with his furious rants and throw them at audiences round the World.

Well the world being North Yorkshire, Lowland Scotland, County Durham, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear but it’s still a World Tour in name.

“Funny, clever and as brilliantly observed as you’ll find” – The Scotsman

This show will also feature a support act.
