Comedy and theatre will combine at a Newcastle restaurant-bar in a one-off night of entertainment.
The Alchemist in Eldon Square food court has announced it will be hosting its first ever comedy night on September 1 with a line-up of stand-up talent including Newcastle's Lauren Pattison who will be fresh from her current performance at the Edinburgh Fringe. And guests can expect plenty of entertainment behind the bar too as the venue is renowned for its theatrical cocktail-making.
On the menu will be the likes of The Colour Changing One, a cocktail which has become a staple for the city bar and is a mix of vodka, apple liqueur, citrus and, apparently, a touch of magic which turns it into a smoking concoction that changes before the eyes from blue to purple and then to pink. This is one of two options available as part of a drinks package on the night; the other being a Cheeky Vimto which combines two gins - sloe and blood orange - with cherry and Vimto jelly.
