Bremner said: “'I’m really looking forward to a first visit to South Shields and taking part in an exciting comedy festival!”

Bremner is best known for the political satire show Bremner, Bird and Fortune, which was a mainstay of Channel 4’s comedy output for more than 20 years. He’s won back-to-back BAFTAs for Britain’s Top Comedy Performances, three Royal Television Society awards and two British Comedy Awards. He’s guested on many of Britain’s top comedy shows on radio and TV, including Spitting Image, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week, The News Quiz, The Now Show and QI.

Festival director, writer and comedian Jason Cook said: “Getting Rory was a real coup. He’s been on everything and his Bremner, Bird and Fortune shows have won so many awards that it’s going to be amazing to see someone of his calibre playing our fantastic little theatre. It’s a full show as well, with other performers in Jo and Susie, so it’ll be like watching his TV shows, but live! Absolutely unmissable.”
