Saltburn Comedy Festival

Here’s one we didn’t see coming – on 17-21 June, the Saltburn Comedy Festival will be held a few miles from the Quintessential Comedy headquarters!

To be held at the Saltburn Theatre on Albion Terrace, the acts – previewing material for the Edinburgh Festival – are:

*Jason Manford: Perrier nominee in 2005 and the brand new team captain on Channel 4’s ‘8 out of 10 Cats.’
*Norman Lovett: best known as ‘Holly’ in Red Dwarf and one of the first group of comics to play the original Comedy Store.
*Markus Birdman: a regular favourite at The Comedy Store, Jongleurs and all other major UK clubs, who is building an increasingly huge cult following.
*Mrs Barbara Nice: the comic creation of Janice Connolly, best known for her role as God-fearing barmaid ‘Holy Mary’ in the hugely popular Phoenix Nights.
