FREE KIDS’ COMEDY
Why should
grown-ups have all the fun?

Jesterval, the comedy
festival coming to Gateshead Quays next week, have announced free afternoon
comedy for kids.
The five-day long festival, which runs 3-7 October from
Baltic Square, features some of the UK’s biggest stand-ups – including Ed
Byrne, Marcus Brigstocke and Hebburn creator Jason Cook.
But it’s not all about the grown-ups, with organisers today
confirming four family shows from the likes of Frehd the Clown and
Silky.
Frehd the Clown will open the kids’ comedy at 12pm on
Saturday 5 October before a family package show.
And Silky, who has performed at the Newcastle Stand’s kids’
show before, will kick off Sunday’s stand-up at Jesterval.
“Kids’ comedy is even
funnier than comedy for adults,” he said.
“I find that everyone’s happy in a way that adults aren’t;
they’ve all got their own interests and they tend to be more attentive to the
comedy.
“You can talk about broader topics, but at the same time
kids will laugh when I say that I’m made out of cheese.”
Silky also says that adults won’t be twiddling their thumbs
at his shows; there are plenty of jokes for them too.
“I think the parents will enjoy it; there are little
in-jokes for them. I’d like to think of the show as a lift; it works on many
levels.”
