SUE SWEENEY - SHES A TONIC – LIVE AT THE CUSTOMS HOUSE, SOUTH SHIELDS

If, as is often claimed, 'laughter is the cure for most ills', then Sue Sweeney can claim to be the North East's own Comedy Doctor, dispensing goodwill and hilarity to her growing band of willing patients. She has an infectious sense of humour; she's quick, effective and hilarious.

The region's own first lady of comedy burst onto the circuit fairly recently following a successful twenty year career as a vocalist. In an avenue of entertainment where it often takes many years to build up a following, Sue's comedy performances were an instant hit and she caught the eyes and ears of regional broadcasting bosses who made her an offer she couldn't refuse. Now, Sue warms the hearts of thousands with her radio shows on BBC Newcastle, she is dedicated to the region, filling homes with laughter and companionship.


Sue's recent success as a comedienne has put her up against her more established male comedic peers. Never one to shirk a challenge, Sue has converted audiences with her bubbly, quick-fire delivery and is the only woman to ever win 'North-East Comedy Artiste of the Year'.


Also featured on this DVD is Sue Sweeney's brash 'larger than life' alter ego, 'Annie Glipta'. Annie takes a sideways look at life and relationships which has her audiences laughing hysterically at her observations. With a heart full of North-East pride and a head full of one-liners, Sue now travels the world entertaining people with her idiosyncratic, Geordie humour. Home grown comedy at its best, you'll definitely be back for more medicine! Sue Sweeney – 'She's a Tonic' – the North East's Comedy Queen.
