Bridget Christie is one of the UK’s funniest people and she’s bringing her new show ‘Who Am I?’ to Durham in early October (and Newcastle in November).

Bridget Christie has written and performed 12 solo shows now (including ‘A Bic For Her’, which won the Edinburgh Comedy Award). She also wrote and starred in one of the best TV shows of the year ‘The Change’, a smart comedy-drama about a woman navigating the joys, or otherwise, of midlife. Her latest stand-up show ‘Who Am I?’ also explores mid-life potholes (what happens when you buy a motorbike but can’t ride it because of early osteoarthritis in your hips?). And does she really think that Chris Rock is the same person as The Rock? Find out when she visits the region. JL
