Show will now be taped in Newcastle

Chris Ramsey is to record his first DVD on home soil after his original venues was closed unexpectedly because of asbestos.

He had been due to tape the All Growed Up stand-up show at London's Bloomsbury Theatre – but the date fell victim to the venue's building problems, as reported by Chortle last week.

So instead the South Shields-born comic will be heading to Newcastle's Tyne Theatre & Opera House on October 7. Two shows will be filmed, at 7pm and 9.30pm.

Ramsey said: 'I'm chuffed to bit to be coming home to film my first ever DVD in Newcastle. It's been a stressful few days trying to sort another venue but this is literally the best outcome I could have hoped for.

'Massive thanks to the Tyne Theatre & Opera House and the lovely people of the North East… it's going to be awesome!'

All Growed up will be on tour from later this mont (Dates) with the DVD on sale from November 30 (Preorder).
