Lauren Pattison mines gallons of humour from her home town Newcastle, teenage pregnancy rates and being an unemployable drama graduate with no transferrable skills. One skill she certainly does have is getting laughs and as a result has been asked to do the tour support for none other than Canadian superstar, Katherine Ryan. She’s also a first rate story teller which has brought her significant industry acclaim: Making the BBC New Comedy Shortlist as well as coming runner up in the prestigious Funny Women Final just like fellow Geordie comedian Sarah Millican before her. No wonder then that many in the industry are calling Laurent ‘the next Sarah Millican’. So catch her now while you can!

“You. Are. So. Funny. Lauren Pattison!” Katherine Ryan
