Sunday for Sammy is a charity that supports emerging creative talent in the North East of England, particularly in the performing arts. It was established in memory of the late Geordie actor Sammy Johnson, known for his roles in Spender and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
The charity raises funds primarily through biennial variety concerts held in Newcastle, featuring well-known North East entertainers such as Tim Healy, Kevin Whately, Charlie Hardwick, Jill Halfpenny and many others. The money raised provides grants to help young performers with training, equipment, or other resources to further their careers in music, theatre, comedy, and film.
Show producer Ray Laidlaw explained:
“We are delighted to announce that the show will return to the Utilita Arena Newcastle on February 15th, 2026, and tickets will go on sale on 15th February this year. As this is a special year for us, we will also be holding several other events and shows including our popular “Sketch for Sammy “competition.”
The Trust also announced two patrons for the charity – both North East icons. Vera actress Brenda Blethyn and musician Matty Healy from The 1975 will help to promote the work of the charity. Both have appeared in previous shows.
