Comedic

As we had a few days off we got up to see Gareth in Gateshead. He had manflu which turned into a throat infection the next day but he soldiered through the night to get a cheap but excellent chinese in Newcastle’s China Town and down a few pints of beer before with some trepedation we ventured to a pub in Byker. To our suprise the Cumberland Arms was a lovely pub where Belly Rub were performing “Monkey Do Bad Things” for the Newcastle and Gateshead Comedy Festival. Well written sketches well performed to a packed room and not reliant on bad language to get laughs. Excellent.

We also ventured to the Baltic Arts Centre to have a look around. There was an excellent installation from Candice Breitz about John Lennon within the staircase. Well worth going to see/listen to. The street art section lurched between good and terrible. Unfortunately the Keith Haring floor wasn’t open untill saturday so only caught a glimpse of that through the window.
