Peter Dixon,
of Funny Way To Be Comedy Club, said: “All four comedians in our autumn season
are playing Barnard Castle for the
very first time so we’re very excited in that respect.
“Their styles are varied but all have one thing in
common in that they are tremendous talents and greatly respected in their
fields.
“Lee [Nelson] is arguably the top character
comedian on the comedy circuit, Susan Calman has vast standup, TV and radio
experience behind and is embarking on her debut tour and the double-header show
of Romesh [Ranganathan] and Suzi [Ruffell] brings two of comedy's rising young
stand up stars as they also embark on their first UK tours. These are shows not
to be missed."
