Long Live Comedy,
Chillingham Arms,
Chillingham Road,
Heaton.

It all started a couple of years ago as an open mic night for new comics. But the night was often also attended by established acts, keen to try out new material in the relaxed atmosphere. Long Live Comedy soon gained a reputation as a great comedy gig. Now the venue has been rewarded by being selected as the best comedy night in the North by Chortle - the comedy news website.

Long Live Comedy - Chillingham Pub, Heaton!

(They also do a weekly show @ The Dog and Parrot, Clayton Street, Newcastle - Billed as 'Anything Goes.')
