Northern News: Live

Comedians IAN SMITH (Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Show nominee, ‘The News Quiz’, ‘The Now Show’) and AMY GLEDHILL (British Comedy Awards nominee, ‘Would I Lie To You?’, ‘Late Night Mash’ , ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’) take their critically-acclaimed comedy podcast NORTHERN NEWS on the road for the very first time, for a Tour of t’North.

Ian and Amy are two Northerners living in London, missing out on the juicy stories from their hometowns. Join them as they scour the local rags of the North to find the stories you didn’t know you needed to know.

Who’s tipped to win big at the World Gravy Wrestling Championships? Is there a pig in Goole that needs coaxing off a mini-roundabout with crisps? Amy and Ian get the scoop on the hottest, creepiest, and downright peculiar news stories from the North.
