Lee Kyle: Bottle It

On Tour 2025

Following his 2024 show at a packed Tyne Theatre in Newcastle, South Shields comedian Lee Kyle will be taking his next show ‘Bottle It’ on tour throughout the North of England and into Scotland in early 2025.

The show will take him to Newcastle’s Tyne Theatre, Darlington, Washington  and a number of other theatres and arts centres.

Lee has been throwing messages in bottles into the sea! Lots of them. He’s been asking people to reply and people have. What has this led to? Adventure? Discovery? Surprises?

Well yes. He’s learned a lot. Join Lee, a top class ad-libber and storytelling comedian, as he recounts this tale while revealing so much more about himself than even he is strictly comfortable with.

This relentlessly funny show deals with the harm done by a big family secret and about his struggles with his own mind in a way that is raw and honest while never forgetting the comedy.

Growing up as a somewhat lonely, feminine, heterosexual male on a council estate with a biracial stepson and a predominantly female friendship group has given Lee an outlook that confounds the stereotypes associated (Often lazily) with the working classes, who are often viewed as a homogeneous group by those who have never met any.

Through this prism, Lee will deal with his solutions for the male mental health crisis and will look outward to the potential world of adventure contained in every message he has released into the water.

One of the most versatile comedians in the UK, Lee is as at home performing stand up for families as he is compering lively Saturday night comedy club gigs. These experiences have led to him being particularly noted for his quick thinking ad libs and crowd work.

However, it is his full length stand up shows, weaving storytelling with relentless punchlines and his unusual outlook that are where his true strength lies.  As such, it is no surprise that he is now a much in demand director of stand up comedy shows.
