If you’re looking for an evening of razor-sharp wit, unapologetic humour, and full-on glamour, then circle Friday 19 September 2025 in your diary. Newcastle’s comedy royalty Miss Rory is heading across the Tyne to The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, where she’ll headline Live, Laugh, LIVE! — a brand-new show that promises laughter, sparkle and plenty of sass.
A North East Favourite
Few performers have become as much a part of the region’s cultural fabric as Miss Rory. Known to many as the quick-tongued host of Newcastle’s Boulevard cabaret club, she’s long been celebrated for her barbed one-liners, pitch-perfect timing and the kind of observational comedy that cuts right to the bone. Whether skewering the absurdities of everyday life or offering her trademark commentary on Geordie nights out, Miss Rory always finds a way to leave audiences howling.
Over the years she’s built a loyal following, with fans returning year after year for her Christmas specials, cabaret appearances and theatre tours. The upcoming Live, Laugh, LIVE! feels like the next step up — a large-scale stand-up spectacular staged in the stunning Sage One hall at The Glasshouse.
What to Expect at Live, Laugh, LIVE!
The show title gives the game away: this will be Miss Rory at her most unapologetic. Expect bold opinions, outrageous anecdotes, outrageous stories and cutting commentary that only the North East’s Queen of Comedy can deliver and the kind of fearless humour that has made her a Tyneside institution. This unique take on life isn’t just caustic, it’s quite often a heart-warming, yet hilarious view of the world around us while audiences can always rely on her trademark sarcasm, there’s also warmth behind the cutting exterior — which is why so many fans describe her as “the voice of Newcastle.”
The Glasshouse listing warns that the night will feature strong language and adult themes, so this one is strictly 16+ only. Tickets are all seated, giving everyone a clear view of the action, but if you’ve ever seen Miss Rory before you’ll know there’s no such thing as a “safe seat” once she’s on stage.
