LEGENDARY North-East comedian the Little Waster will live again on the stage in Newcastle this month.

Following the success of a three-show run last year, Northern Stage's Peter Peverley is presenting his Bobby Thompson show for two weeks at Newcastle Playhouse.

The actor first became interested in the Little Waster 11 years ago when asked to perform some of his routines in a show about Sunderland's past.

Years later, he used his spare time on tour with Northern Stage Ensemble's Animal Farm and A Clockwork Orange to work on the script for his one-man show.

The show is at Newcastle Playhouse from February 15 to March 3. It tours to the Arc, Stockton, on March 7 and Stanley Civic Centre on April 6.
