Comedy Festival Success



SUCCESS smiled on Saltburn’s first ever comedy festival.
Organisers now hope it will become an annual feature in the town, after three of the four-nights were a complete sell-out.
Performers included Markus Birdman, Jason Cook, Barbara Nice, Jason Manford and Anvil Springstien, ok who stepped in as replacement for Jo Enright, who pulled out due to illness.
Festival promoter Rob O’Connor said the event had been “great fun” with hopes to hold it annually.
He added: “The line-up and mix of styles obviously caught the imagination of a lot of people.”
Many of the performers who took part had stopped off in Saltburn on their way to the world famous Edinburgh Festival.
Rob added: “All the comics really enjoyed their time up here.”
