The Stand Comedy Club Newcastle sits at 31 High Bridge in the city centre, opened on 27 October 2011 as the North East outpost of the Stand group (which began in Edinburgh in 1995). A circa-300-capacity room, it programmes comedy throughout the week, with weekend headline nights that regularly sell out and a steady stream of touring acts and emerging talent. Widely regarded as the North East's premier comedy destination, it's a year-round live-performance venue — primarily stand-up comedy and spoken word rather than band gigs.
