TWO TICKETS
TO THE GUNGE SHOW?
The Gunge Show,
Barnard Castle Witham Arts Centre
Saturday 18th July2015
A
leading North East comic is hoping kids will see the funny side of his jokes
when he performs at the first ever Barnard Castle Comedy Festival.
Geordie
comedian Lee Kyle has announced that he will be performing his family-friendly
comedy show, The Gunge Show, at The Witham Arts Centre on Saturday 18 July.
A
frantic, boisterous affair akin to the Saturday morning kids’ game shows of the
eighties and nineties, The Gunge Show sees Kyle supervising two teams of comics
competing in a series of ear-splitting games to save their team captain from a
gunging.
Speaking
ahead of the show, Lee said: "I love Barnard Castle - the festival has a
brilliant line-up and I'm chuffed to be a part of it. My show's for kids and
stupid adults. It has gunge in it and it is a right laugh, so please do come
along. I have done the show before and
people liked it, so I'm not just guessing. It really is canny good."
Featuring
gung-ho contributions from Si Buglass, Nicola Mantalios-Lovett, Sammy Dobson,
and Matt Reed, the show will be laden with rapturous stupidity and plenty of
near-the-knuckle asides for the grown-ups.
Frenzied
rounds see participants – and plucky audience members – insulting each other,
showcasing their special talents and shoving a ghastly assortment of foods into
each other’s faces.
A
recent review by the comedy website Giggle Beats compares the show to the
"puerile gaiety of Dick and Dom’s In Da Bungalow – but with lower
production values and actual comedians. The show is full of psychotic,
inclusive charm that even the hardest heart can’t help but be taken in
by."
The
Barnard Castle Comedy Festival is organised by Teesdale comedy promoters Funny
Way To Be.
