Comedians Ian Smith(double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, The News Quiz) and Amy Gledhill(Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, Last One Laughing UK, Late Night Mash, The Jonathan Ross Show) present a very special live edition of their comedy podcast Northern News up north at the Crossed Wires festival.

Two Northerners living in London, Ian and Amy are missing out on the juicy stories from their hometowns. Join them as they scour the local rags of the North to find the stories you didn’t know you needed to know.

Who’s tipped to win big at the World Gravy Wrestling Championships? Is there a pig in Goole that needs coaxing off a mini-roundabout with crisps? Amy and Ian get the scoop on the hottest, creepiest, and downright peculiar news stories from the North.

Ian Smith and Amy Gledhill are sat at a table covered in newspapers.
