Smile For A Night Variety Show
Save the date - it's Sunday 15th March!
A riproaring family variety show with amazing acts is being put on for a local Tyneside children’s charity.
Smile For A Night will be held at Newcastle’s Tyne Theatre in aid of Smile For Life charity, and see a whole host of highly acclaimed performers take to the stage.
The line-up includes Lee Ridley, known as The Lost Voice Guy, who will be using his voice synthesiser to entertain the crowd. Lee has cerebral palsy but manages to communicate through his iPad and tours the UK with his stand-up act.
Other Geordie crowd pleasers taking part are contortionist and escapologist Chris Cross, comedians and panto stars Danny Adams and Clive Webb, who are also comparing the show, and Britain’s Got Talent 2014 star Nick Celino.
The Frozen Sisters will be performing songs from the hit Disney musical, show dancers from the Marron School of Dance, theatre school Twisting Ducks - for adults with learning difficulties and local boyband The Waiters.
Smile For Life Patron Danny Adams, best known for his sell-out pantos at The Theatre Royal, comedy bonanzas with Cannon and Ball and Circus Hilarious tour at Butlins, says the show will be great entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.
“This will see the best of the North East’s performers come together for a fantastic cause. It is great to do a show where all of the proceeds will go directly to help disabled and special needs young people in the North East and to give something back.”
We will be doing some of our big well-known comedy routines, as well as new stuff. People will get lots of laughter and a great night out.”
It is hoped that Smile For A Night Variety Show will be the first of many for Smile For Life Children’s Charity.
Chief Executive Paula Gascoigne said:
“We are so happy to be launching the first Smile For A Night, it will be wonderful family entertainment, and we hope it becomes a great annual event in the region.
Many of the young people that we work with will be involved with the back stage work, which will increase their skills and confidence too.
This is about bringing North East talent together to help North East people. We are so grateful that these fantastic acts have given up their time to help this fantastic cause.”
