Acclaimed comedian Nick Helm is heading to the North East with new tour

Comedian and actor Nick Helm is back with his brand-new show, ‘No One Gets Out Alive’, which he will tour for 34 dates across the UK and Ireland this autumn.

Since starting stand-up comedy in 2007, Nick quickly gained attention from across the industry for his hilarious blend of one-liners, stories, poems and songs.

Across his career, he's twice been nominated for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards (2011 & 2013), and has won numerous accolades including Dave’s Funniest Joke of The Fringe (2011), Best Breakthrough Artist at the British Comedy Awards (2014), The Times Breakthrough Award at The South Bank Sky Arts Awards (2014), and Best Music and Variety Artist at the Chortle Awards (2015).

He has also starred in Uncle, Loaded, Nick Helm’s Heavy Entertainment, Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and many more, released two successful albums, and was also nominated for a BAFTA for short film Elephant, which he co-wrote, directed and starred in.

When is Nick coming to the North East?

No One Gets Out Alive comes to The Stand in Newcastle on Tuesday, November 4 2025.

He also has two shows in County Durham: at The Wiltham in Barnard Castle on Friday, October 10 2025 and the ARC in Stockton on Saturday, October 11 2025.

Why should you buy tickets for the show?

In a statement, the show’s promoters said: “On his last tour Nick Helm promised you a Super Fun Good Time Show and, except for one man in Hull, no one could say he did anything other than more than deliver. This time, the International Treasure-in-Waiting is going to give you the best damn night of your miserable lives whether you want it or not.

“Nick Helm is the greatest living all-round entertainer of his or any generation, living or dead, and he’s coming to a town near you. What are you going to tell your grandkids? That you were busy that night? Well get ready for your grandkids to stare at you with a complete lack of comprehension. You’ll be considered, locally, an idiot. From now on, every time you catch your own reflection in a car window or the back of an old DVD, you’ll think yourself a wally.

“So chill the eff out, wind your effing neck in and buy an effing ticket. They’re affordable and there’s an interval to buy refreshments and to look at your fellow audience members with a cocked head asking “Did he just change our lives?” Relent to him. He. Is. Your. New. God. You can run and you can hide, but no one gets out alive.”

When can I get tickets?

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 11th April at 10am, at nick-helm.co.uk.
