Sunday for Sammy is a legendary charity variety show that celebrates the vibrant talent of the North East. Held every two years, it brings together some of the region’s most beloved entertainers, from actors and comedians to musicians and surprise celebrity guests.
The event was established in memory of actor Sammy Johnson, best known for his role in Spender. Sammy was a much-loved figure in the entertainment industry, and after his passing in 1998, his friends and colleagues came together to honour his legacy. The show raises funds for the Sammy Johnson Memorial Fund, which supports young performers from the North East by providing grants and opportunities to help them pursue careers in the arts.
Over the years, Sunday for Sammy has featured an incredible lineup of talent, with performances that mix comedy sketches, live music, and emotional tributes. Regulars such as Tim Healy, Denise Welch, Jimmy Nail, and Kevin Whately have graced the stage, alongside surprise appearances from famous faces with North East roots.
The show is known for its feel-good atmosphere, hilarious Geordie humour, and heartwarming moments. It’s not just a night of top-tier entertainment—it’s a celebration of the North East’s rich cultural heritage and a chance to support the next generation of performers.
