Sunderland’s Sheepfolds Stables has announced it is to host its first ever comedy night, with a list of renowned comedians on the bill.
The ticket-only event, to be held on Sunday, February 16, will see comedians Alfie Joey, Sean Percival and John Scott take to the stage in The Hayloft event space to entertain Wearside audiences.
Alfie Joey is a comedian and impressionist and is a well-known face in the North East having performed on the comedy circuit for more than 20 years. The former radio presenter has starred in various sitcoms and pantomimes and was also one half of The Mimic Men appearing on Britain’s Got Talent in 2016. Their performance has been watched and streamed by over 13 million people.

The trio will feature as part of fellow comedian, Cal Halbert’s ‘Cal’s Comedy Club’. This is the first comedy night to be held at Sheepfolds Stables since its highly acclaimed launch in August last year, and it is anticipated that the event could become a regular listing for Sunderland’s ever-growing social scene.
Nigel Wood, General Manager of Sheepfolds Stables said: “This is our first ever comedy night and we’re absolutely thrilled to sign up some of the best comedians on the comedy club circuit. Given the feedback we’ve received so far, we’re expecting tickets to be sold very quickly indeed, so this could become the first of many to be held at Sheepfolds Stables going forward.
“We’re a totally unique venue here in the city as well as the wider North East region, so being able to put on different, high quality events of this nature and attract new audiences to Sunderland is a great way of building on the buzz that exists across Wearside at the moment. It’s an exciting time.”
Sheepfolds Stables’ Comedy Night is being held on Sunday, February 16. Doors open at 7pm and tickets are now available from the Sheepfolds Stables website.
