The star is set o return to venue in December - and insists: 'I am about as racist as the Pope'. A comedian deemed too blue for Newcastle City Hall has announced a new headline date - more than two years after being kicked off the bill. But after Newcastle City Council handed the reins to the Academy Music Group, which runs the O2 Academy, he's been welcomed back - renewing a decades old working relationship with the site.

Despite hailing from Teesside, Roy insists he is an "adopted Geordie" - and feels his City Hall show is a homecoming.
