🚀 Big News!
We’re absolutely ecstatic — our latest funding bid has been approved! 🙌
And just look at what we got!! Our very own podcasting set-up, that enables us to work with our communities in new and exciting ways.
Thanks to this support, we’ll be able to test the market for our podcasting workshops and bring even more creative opportunities to our community.
After delivering podcast workshops with VODA, we’re looking to build on this even further:
🎙️ A FREE, open-to-all podcasting workshop is coming this January!
(more details on this soon).
It’ll be a hands-on taster of everything podcasting — perfect for beginners, creators, and anyone curious about getting started.
And that’s not all…
As we work toward creating a permanent home, we’ll also be making all of our equipment available for community too. Big things are on the way!
Full workshop details dropping soon — stay tuned. 👀

A massive thank you to UK Shared Prosperity Funding via the Business with Purpose programme for backing this project. We can’t wait to get started! 🙏✨

🎤 SPACEBAR COMEDY CLUB – FRIDAY 5TH DECEMBER 🎤

Sunderland… get ready to LAUGH your head off 🤣
Spacebar’s NEWEST comedy night is here and the line-up is absolutely STACKED with killers. This isn’t open mic stuff… this is proper stand-up from comedians who know how to tear a room apart.

DOORS 7PM • SHOW 8PM

📍 Spacebar Arcade
21–23 Waterloo Place, Sunderland SR1 3HT

Tickets are only ÂŁ15
Early Bird just ÂŁ7 (while they last!)

TOM TAYLOR
Award-winning comedian, writer, and musician Tom Taylor has delighted audiences across the UK and beyond with his unique mix of offbeat musical comedy and clever wordplay. As heard on BBC Radio 4, Tom’s inventive style and charmingly odd humour have earned him rave reviews and a loyal following. Whether behind a piano or a punchline, Tom guarantees laughs that strike all the right notes.

JACOB NUSSEY
Jacob Nussey is a fast-rising comedian from the Midlands whose dry, understated delivery and sharp writing have made him one to watch on the UK circuit. Winner of the West Didsbury Comedy Festival and finalist at the Leicester Square New Comedian competition, Jacob is a regular performer at top clubs across the country. His comedy blends the brilliantly bleak with the unexpectedly silly — expect deadpan observations, wry one-liners, and a worldview that’s as offbeat as it is hilarious.

ALAN RITCHIE
Alan Ritchie only started stand-up last year but has already been gigging all around the UK. A semi-finalist at So You Think You’re Funny? 2025, he has performed at The Stand, Monkey Barrel, and Hot Water, among many of the country’s top comedy clubs.

JACK KELLY
Described as “a sensational stand-up”, Jack Kelly is a Manchester-based comedian, writer, and host originally from Blackpool. As heard on BBC Radio 2, Jack is celebrated for his sharp wit, relatable charm, and what British Comedy Guide calls “wistful and hilarious anecdotes.” He is also the co-founder of the award-winning Laughięnda Comedy Club and the driving force behind a series of successful comedy nights across Greater Manchester.

🎉 Big News: We’re officially a Not-for-Profit Community Interest Company! 🎉
We’re beyond thrilled to announce that we are now officially a Community Interest Company (CIC) — marking a huge milestone for our organisation and everyone who’s helped us get here.

A word from our Managing Director, Si Beckwith:
“It’s taken a lot of hard graft to reach this stage, and I want to give huge thanks to our fellow director Jenny (with a third to be announced soon!) and our soon-to-be-finalised steering group.
There’s plenty of planning, strategy, and exciting developments ahead — including our first funded project and a mini comedy festival in 2026!
Our mission is simple: to use comedy to benefit people and communities — improving wellbeing, social connection, and community resilience, and empowering people from all walks of life through the power of laughter.
Over the coming months, we’ll be consulting with local communities to shape our new programme of work — ensuring we’re delivering what people actually want and need.
Huge thanks to Kate and Elaine at Junction Point, Jenny and Toni from Project North East, EVERYONE at VODA, and Rachel Adam for their invaluable business support (and apologies to anyone I’ve missed — it’s been a long few weeks of admin!).
And to our brilliant partners, thank you for helping us deliver such incredible shows and workshops.
Finally, to Rebecca, Erin, and Hubert — thank you for keeping me sane while we made this happen.
This is clearly cause for celebration — they’ve been letting off fireworks all night to mark the occasion!
I love our region, I love comedy, and I love that we get to make real things happen over the next few years.”

This is just the beginning — and we can’t wait to share what’s next.�
