Comedian Lee Kyle has announced a show in Gilsland as part of his 2025 tour.

Mr Kyle plans to visit venues throughout the north of England and into Scotland as part of his 'Bottle It' stand-up comedy tour, which is based on messages in bottles and secrets.

This will include a stop at Gilsland Village Hall on March 15 next year.

He said: "I’m really excited to be taking this show to some wonderful venues and to be telling people this story.

"Too honest probably."

Tickets for his tour are available at imleekyle.com.

The show will reflect on the harm caused by a big family secret and his struggles with mental health while maintaining a comedic undertone.

He will also explore his unique perspective, shaped by his upbringing on a council estate with a biracial stepson, a predominantly female friendship group, and his solutions for the male mental health crisis.

His stand-up comedy experiences have led to him being particularly known for his quick thinking ad libs and crowd work.
