Christian Steel is flying the flag for the north. The cheeky Geordie not only excels at stand-up but has also performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Mark Felgate meanwhile provides a combination of silly voices, noises, vocal acrobatics, twisted songs and guitar histrionics.

Last up, Dean Caston has appeared on Britain’s Got Talent and in cabaret performing his comedy like a modern day Max Miller. Dean is a member of the British Music Hall Society and is keen to keep variety alive.

See all three in one hit at Billabong on Thursday, October 30, at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £9 in advance or £12 on the door. Visit www.wegottickets.com/event/292962 or call

Andy Zaltzman, the British-based half of the global hit topical podcast The Bugle, is on the road with his interactive show, Satirist for Hire. Audiences are given the chance to have the issues they care about satirised to order by one of Britain’s leading political comedians.

Whether a general grumble or a specific bleat, ticketholders are invited to send in their satirico-queries in advance. Andy will butter their political hot potato and serve it back to them at the show of their choosing.
