A County Durham community centre is set to host a comedy evening featuring an award-winning comedian.

The event, promising an evening of laughter and music, will be held at Bowburn Community Centre on October 4.

The act is to include Sue Sweeney and local entertainer Mike L.

Sweeney, a comedienne and former BBC Radio Newcastle host, started her entertainment career as a vocalist in a two-girl duo and later became a successful comedy act, being named "North East Comedy Artiste of the Year" in 1998.

Sweeney's act focuses on life and relationships, with many audiences left both laughing and nodding in agreement with her observations according to the event's organisers.
