Comedy club serves up perfect antidote to January blues

Barnard Castle comedy club Funny Way To Be welcomes a new show by Lucy Porter for its first event of the new year.
She will perform Consequences at The Witham, Barnard Castle, on Saturday, January 28.
Consequences sees the well established comic wondering how has she become one of those people she used to make fun of.
Described as a heart-felt and hilarious hour of personal revelation, political observation and reflection, the show received rave reviews at last year’s Edinburgh Fringe.
It is a relatively family friendly show and is suitable for anyone aged 14 and older.
Lucy Porter has been a huge hit with comedy audiences up and down the country for more than a decade.
She is also a regular face and voice on TV and radio panel shows, appearing on the likes of Pointless, Celebrity Mastermind Champion, QI, Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You.
On Radio 4, she has been heard on Life – An Idiot’s Guide, Heresy, The Personality Test, The News Quiz, Dilemma and The Unbelievable Truth, and is a regular guest on BBC 6Music on The Radcliffe & Maconie Show.
Funny Way To Be promoter Peter Dixon said: “We’re delighted that one of our all time favourite comedians, Lucy Porter, is coming to Barnard Castle next year.
“We’ve been to see each of Lucy’s shows at Edinburgh for many years, and we’re sure her cheerful, vibrant comedy is the perfect antidote to the January blues.”
Tickets are priced £14 and will be available online from funnywaytobe.com.
