ONE of the biggest hits of this year's Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Festival is to perform in Saltburn.

Comedian Brendon Burns, who has been shortlisted for the if.comedy award, will perform at Saltburn Community Theatre on Saturday, October 13.

Promoter Rob O'Connor said: "Brendon is a comedy legend in the making - he's not regularly compared to Bill Hicks for nothing. This nomination is long overdue, and the fact he's playing a small gig like Saltburn is incredible, really."

Doors open at 7.30pm and the show starts at 8pm.

Tickets, priced £10, are available from Saltburn Health Foods and Middlesbrough Town Hall on 01642-729729.
