Two new acts have also been added to the line-up; Gavin Webster on Thursday, July 25, at 8pm and Tom Stade on Sunday, July 28, at 6pm.

Festival Director Cook said: “We’re absolutely buzzing that we have sold out our first show! But as much as we might bask in that glow, we must remind people that there are still loads of amazing shows to go to.

“We are a small festival and purposely so, we don't just book anyone like other festivals! So get yourself down to any of our shows and get laughing with us!”

The South Tyneside Comedy Festival kicks off on Friday, July 12, at 8pm, with rising star Adam Rowe, who won the prestigious Joke of the Fringe Award at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and sold out his last show at The Customs House.
