Live theatre, music, comedy and cabaret will play out across Newcastle over 10 days this July as Newcastle Fringe Festival prepares to make a comeback in style.
From July 18-29, the festival will see what's billed as the best of the UK's touring performing arts scene perform in venues across the city and among the 40 artists taking part will be home-grown talent too, including comedian Lauren Pattison who last year was nominated for best show at Edinburgh Fringe.
She's actually now a two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and she will be performing her hit hour-long fringe show It Is What It Is on both July 27 and 28. Tickets will go on sale at 10.30am on Tuesday for all the shows which will include family-friendly options too.
