SpaceBar Arcade have teamed up with North East production company Little Robot to bring a brand new comedy night to Sunderland featuring a mix of top national talent alongside fresh faces and some local faves too. On the line up for the evening you will find the following…
Michael Legge

Alex Mitchell
You may remember Alex from the 2024 series of Britain’s Got Talent where he reached the final after winning his semi by public vote! Alex is a queer, autistic, disabled comic who uses self-deprecating humour and observational material to create a hilarious but heart-warming atmosphere.
Also on the line up are So You Think You’re Funny? finalist Laurie Brewster and rising star Kelly Younghorn.
The night will be hosted by the hilarious Si Beckwith, tour support for Carl Hutchinson, Janine Harouni and Nabil Abdulrashid.
Cocktails, gaming and comedy – it’s going to be a perfect Friday night in Sunderland!
Doors are 7pm, show starts at 8pm.
Tickets are priced from £12 and available to buy now from HERE.
September was relatively quiet and it’s a good job really as we had a jam packed October! It’s my favourite month to be fair and I always try and fill it with lots of fun autumn activities. We did so much and now it’s time to tell you all about it!
Continue readingEarlier this year, Sunderland was named the best city in the UK for independent restaurants and it honestly comes as no surprise. We’re so lucky to have so many wonderful eateries in the area and one that we visited recently is Marcellos!
September has been a relatively quiet month which is quite nice considering how busy the rest of the year has been! A lot of chill time with family and friends, visits to various foodie spots and nights in curled up in front of the telly. It’s been pretty perfect. Let me tell you all about it!

My favourite season is finally here and I’m ready to embrace the darker nights, the big jumpers and the pumpkin spice!
Like a lot of people, I feel a real spiritual connection to Autumn. It feels like the perfect time to reflect on the year so far, to let go of any negative feelings and to find balance in all aspects of life. I always like to make a bucket list for the season and to keep myself busy, so here’s my list for 2023.
I know I’ve already said this but Autumn is my favourite season and it’s largely to do with Halloween, so you can imagine how excited I was to be invited along to Luna Events North East’s Haunted Halloween Market at the Roker Hotel on Friday 28th October 2022!
Sunderland Restaurant Week, organised by Sunderland BID, is returning 17th-25th September and I was lucky enough to have a little preview and sample some scran from 3 of the eateries taking part!
If you’re unaware of the event, Sunderland Restaurant Week allows a whole host of restaurants and cafes across the city to show off their menus whilst giving visitors a chance to dine for £5, £10 or £15pp. We have been lucky to see so many new restaurants open this past year, so if you haven’t had a chance to visit some of them yet – this might be your perfect opportunity!
On the preview night, we visited 3 venues for starter, main and dessert. Those venues were My Delhi, The Engine Room and Grinder Central. Now let me tell you aaaaall about it…

We’re a quarter of the way through 2022 now – Spring has sprung, festivals have started, Easter eggs have been eaten and I’ve been on my first holiday of the year! It’s actually been a really busy month now that I think about it…
Let’s have a catch up and I’ll tell you aaaall about it in April’s debrief.

I’ve been out of the loop with bands in the North East lately, mainly since I stopped organising my own gigs back in December, but I’ve been making an effort to listen to new music again and I’m glad I have or I wouldn’t have found St. Buryan!
