“Wry, confident observational comedy…hilarious.” - The Sunday Times

Newcastle's best export since Brown Ale, Gavin Webster's style of comedy is loud, sharp and controversial - and audiences love him for it. A definite Geordie, Gavin has superb stage presence. His material is bold and provocative yet delivered in a charming manner - which has brought him much praise and attention.
