The local comedian brings his musical mayhem to The Stand
Local comedian Gavin Webster has long been a mainstay of the North East’s comedy circuit, having carved out a solid reputation over years of performing and touring. It seems a good a time as any for a pivot away from conventional stand-up then, as Gavin returns to one of his first incarnations as a musical comedian.
For an exclusive, one night only engagement, Gavin will be trading the microphone stand for a guitar and will be fronting The Fathas of Convention at The Stand on Sunday 22nd December. The show will provide something of a Greatest Hits showcase for Gavin’s musical comedic talents, featuring could’ve-should’ve-been-hits such as Sky Diddleyhifi Subscription, Greggs, Gills, Tab Hoose, Summoning Up The Devil, Shoes Shoes Socks, Two Charvers In A Car and Be Mine Blaydon On Tyne, all presented in a two-hour (!) extravaganza of side-splitting songcraft, with the added accompaniment of a full live band.
As anyone familiar with Gavin’s work will know, this is a very fitting detour for a very talented comedian, and it’s a fantastically apt event on the last weekend before Christmas.
