DAVID Walliams' Awful Auntie will be making a visit to Darlington at the end of the month and everyone is invited to pop along and see her in action.

The Birmingham Stage Company is bringing the show to the Hippodrome from Wednesday, February 28 to Sunday, March 4.

The funny and exciting new show is from the award-winning producers who brought David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny to the Hippodrome.

David Walliams said: "The Birmingham Stage Company's Gangsta Granny is truly brilliant, so I’m hugely excited that they’re now bringing Awful Auntie to the stage. It promises to be a thrilling show and a total hoot – Wagner the owl and I can’t wait to see it.”

Awful Auntie tells the story of Stella, who when she sets off to visit London with her parents had no idea her life was in danger. Waking up from a coma three months later, only her Aunt Alberta can tell Stella what has happened. But not everything Aunt Alberta tells her turns out to be true.
