Comedy in the Cafe
Overview
Get ready, Newcastle – comedy is coming to the café! Northern Stage launches its brand-new Comedy in the Café night with a cracking inaugural lineup and a promise of big laughs in an intimate setting.
Headlining the night is the brilliant Bethany Black, a powerhouse of stand-up known for her razor-sharp wit, fearless honesty and appearances across TV and radio. She’s joined by Dean Coughlin, delivering inventive, laugh-out-loud comedy packed with clever twists and darkly playful observations, and Kie Carson, whose warm, relatable storytelling and infectious energy make him one of the most exciting rising voices on the circuit.
Holding it all together is your host Si Beckwith – fearless, funny and effortlessly likeable – guiding you through the night and keeping the laughs rolling.
Whether you’re a die-hard comedy fan or just after a great night out, this is the perfect way to spend an evening: top-tier stand-up, close-up atmosphere, and a buzzing café setting right in the heart of Newcastle.
