Famous North East comedy club Christmas show looking to bring "adult quality" to family audiences

Billed as “the fastest and stupidest hour of alternative family comedy you’ll see all year”, the show will include  songs, sketches, character and stand up from some of the best comedy performers in the region - with a focus on keeping tickets cheap.

Written and performed by some of the most acclaimed comedy performers in the region, this will be a show that is unique to Newcastle’s festive season. 

The show aims to bring genuine adult quality comedy for a family audience. The Big Family Christmas Show is made by experienced comedians and actors who know how to make children laugh and also appeal to adults. 

The whole feeling will be different to a pantomime with kids given the chance to experience a genuine comedy club an exciting world where they’ll feel grown up and will be hearing more modern messages than you’ll hear at pantomimes across the North East over the festive season.
