Records tumble as Newcastle Comedy Festival hits new heights
With record-breaking ticket sales and a surprise late-night performance by Jimeoin, this year's Newcastle Comedy Festival is a game-changer for Andrew Milos. The festival, now in its eighth year, features a few "firsts" and an all-star line-up that includes Luke Heggie, Nazeem Hussain, Melanie Bracewell, Elouise Eftos, Guy Williams, Sammy J, Michael Hing, Cam Knight and Becky Lucas. Jimeoin wasn't on the line-up but thrilled the audience when he unexpectedly strolled onto the stage on Friday night for Late Night Laughs at Newcastle Comedy Club. "I was trying to gently prod people to buy tickets beforehand - I knew who the special guest was going to be, but I couldn't tell anyone," Mr Milos said. "We ended up having close to 50 people there, which is pretty good considering it's late for most people ... well, it's very late for me. "Daniel Muggleton popped in and so did Guy Williams, because they had already done solo shows, plus locals Eddy Rockafella and Brandon Duff, and Cameron James was the emcee. It was like a mini Gala, in a way." Late Night Laughs is a new addition to the festival's schedule, kicking off at 10pm each Friday at 1a Darby Street. This week's show will feature another mystery guest. Staging two sold-out Gala shows at the Civic Theatre was another festival first. "I think the matinee had even more energy than the evening show," Mr Milos said. "A lot of people have said Timberlina was their favourite part of the matinee, even though she's not even a traditional stand-up comedian! She just went nuts, she did a dancing routine and did about four minutes of ad-lib crowd-work, which is unheard of, because an event like that is very structured and planned out. "But there she was, talking to people, and she blew the roof off. She was giving Becky Lucas a bit of shit as well [laughs]." Yet another festival first is Quick Takes, presented by Newcastle Film School and sponsored by FilmInk and Paramount Pictures. It's a 44-hour short film competition open to creatives of all backgrounds and experience levels, and it's happening the final weekend of the festival (July 25 to 27). Teams will receive a mystery prompt on the Friday night and have exactly 44 hours to write, shoot and deliver a finished short film. No experience? No problem. No fancy gear? You're still welcome. The finalists will be celebrated on the big screen at the Quick Takes showcase and party on Sunday, July 27, at Newcastle Comedy Club, forming part of Newcastle Comedy Festival's closing night festivities. Entry is free, making it accessible for anyone keen to test their storytelling skills under pressure, and there are prizes to be won. You can sign up online at "I'm going to try to do a short movie myself, actually. I've got Becky Lucas, Cameron James and Broden Kelly at the Conservatorium, so I'll be roping them in," Mr Milos said. "I honestly couldn't be happier with how the festival is going. It has broken all records, with over 4500 sales for the first week, and this week every show is pretty much sold out. "Tickets to next week's shows are 55 per cent to 95 per cent sold." And, in a final festival first, Big Dog Comedy (also founded by Mr Milos), returns to its spiritual home, The Happy Wombat, on Saturday, July 19, for a night of side-splitting stand-up from a secret line-up.

Emily Atack's ‘supportive' Boden swimsuit with detachable straps is now on sale
Emily Atack recently shared snaps of her topping up her tan as she wore this multiway swimsuit from Boden that's currently on sale by using this discount code Emily Atack has been making the most of the hot weather recently as she lounged back in her garden to soak up some rays. Sharing a picture with fans of her reclining in her garden on a sunny afternoon, some of her Instagram followers may be wondering where they can shop the exact swimsuit Emily reached for when topping up her tan - and the best part is, not only do we know where to shop one of your own, it's also on sale with this handy discount code. The Rivals starlet was wearing this Milos Smocked Swimsuit from Boden, which boasts multiple ways to wear. Keep the straps for a halterneck or detach them for a bandeau style, just like Emily's. This swimsuit is currently available in all sizes, spanning 6 to 20, and comes in three shades, including the actress's Jam Red shade. It features a high-leg silhouette and an all-over smocked effect. It's fixed cups and silicone tape at the neckline make for a comfortable, supported fit, whether you're swimming or sunbathing. And the perks don't end there, as this swimsuit is made from a material that passes testing to UPF50+, meaning it provides plenty of protection against UV rays in areas covered by the swimsuit. It is worth noting you should still wear suncream when wearing this swimming costume, and protection may also be reduced when wet or stretched. Right now, shoppers can save a handy 15% on this swimsuit thanks to Boden's new women's wear sale. Simply punch in the code JM7D at checkout to secure your discount. It's not just Emily who loves this Boden piece, as plenty of reviews pile in. One 5-star reviewer raves: "The smocking makes this bandeau fresh and unique. The length is above average, which is fantastic for a 5'7" frame, but I still needed to size up because the smocking acts as a fantastic 'shapewear'. I have limited curves and would not recommend it for anyone with curves." And this buyer beams: "Suit is very comfy. Material is a bit thick - but I would not say it feels warm or heavy. Actually feels very expensive and well made. Very pleased with purchase." While a third shares the same sentiments, saying: " I love this suit! I got it in the purple and the colors are so vibrant, that is definitely my favorite part about it. The fit is really flattering, it holds you in without feeling compressive. It was a little difficult to get on but once it is on, it feels great. I have two kids and was able to confidently wear this with them without feeling like I had to keep pulling on my suit." And this thrilled customer gushes: " Talk about sucking you in! This material is thick and it was like wearing spanx. I am ok with a thick suit if it makes me look 10 lbs thinner. The strapless top isn't going anywhere. It's bright and beautiful. If you are on the fence just buy it!" If you prefer to shop alternatives, check out this Textured Bow Tie Swimsuit from & Other Stories for £57. Or, if you're looking for that tummy control feature, Pour Moi's Santa Monica Strapless Tummy Control Multi Way Swimsuit is a great choice for £49.

A New Dessert Shop Is Bringing Thai-Style Soy Milk to Portland
Thai food is ubiquitous throughout Portland, but few area Thai restaurants dare to offer desserts beyond mango and sticky rice. Pat and Art Tantipattanawong are filling a sweet void in the city's Thai scene with Nam Tao Huu, which just became the first Thai dessert shop in Portland. Intriguingly, the business centers on just one of many facets of Thailand's sweets culture: soy milk. 'Nam Tao Huu' translates to soy milk, a beverage that merges breakfast with dessert in Thai culture. Street stalls in Thailand sell creamy versions of it in the mornings; soy milk can be customized with sweeteners like palm sugar and simple syrup and toppings like ginkgo seeds and grass jelly. It's typically served alongside patongo (Chinese donuts). This aspect of Thai desserts is influenced by Chinese immigrants, explains Pat. They can be credited for introducing soy-influenced treats like tofu puddings and slushies to Thailand. Pat loved drinking soy milk as a child in Thailand, and these memories stayed with her through her time in Portland's restaurant world. She worked at Red Onion before opening Tara Thai just down the street from Nam Tao Huu, which is in the former Blue Star Donuts building. 'I grew up with Chinese culture, and we drank it as a protein milk in the morning,' she recalls. 'When you go to morning markets in Thailand, you see them everywhere. Everyone has it. My family served me that almost every day before school.' Pat and Art have a commercial soy milk machine, which they will use to make soy milk for creamy treats like slushies and tofu pudding sweetened with fresh berries and ginger syrup. You can also order plain soy milk, accompanied, if you like, by sweet and salty airy Chinese donuts — dunkable in condensed milk or pandan custard. Another popular Thai dessert on their menu is pillowy toasted milk bread served with the same condiment options. Silken tofu puddings and slushies can come with toppings like ginkgo seeds, grass jelly, and Job's tears, which lend a light chew. The emphasis is on the texture of these toppings rather than their sweetness. There's also an extensive drink menu of familiar items like Thai tea, Milos, and matchas infused with the soy milk. Patrons new to East Asian drink culture may also want to try the longan and jujube iced teas, options that introduce more textural elements to these refreshing beverages. The Tantipattanawongs chose soy milk because they wanted to offer something not too dissimilar from boba drinks — which everyone knows — but which is generally healthier since it has less sugar. 'Nowadays, there are healthy trends in Portland, and lots of vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free people,' says Pat. '[With Nam Tao Huu], those customers can have these kinds of drinks too.' Nam Tao Huu is now open at 921 NW 23rd Avenue. See More: Portland Restaurant News Portland Restaurant Openings

Restaurants and Retail Target New Space Amid Century City Office Boom
A strong post-COVID showing for the 'city within a city' is highlighted by return-to-work amenities and luxe offerings Amid a resurgence of the Century City office market, new retail spaces are attracting tenants with grand visions to attract the corporate card-wielding crowds from talent agencies, law firms, financial services, private equity firms and other professionals, along with the residents of nearby luxury residential towers. The area's growth has drawn interest from around the country, with tenants such as Milos, Kyu, 2-Star Michelin restaurant Sushi Noz and Wally's Wine & Spirits at the Century Plaza. Plus, life and business strategist Tony Robbins partnered with Sam Nazarian to develop The Estate, a private wellness club set to open later this year in Century City with memberships that cost $35,000 per year. The duo plans to open 25 longevity-focused resorts and residential projects worldwide by 2030. More new restaurants and shops have signaled interest in Century City outposts. Famed Chicago eatery Gene & Georgetti, a third-generation Tuscan steakhouse founded in 1941 with the claim of the city's oldest steakhouse, has expansion plans beyond its original (and single) location. Owner Michelle Durpetti, who assumed control following her father's death last year, stated that she is looking to add multiple locations, including California. 'We have looked at several locations in the L.A. area,' said Durpetti, who noted that the restaurant has not yet signed a lease. That's the kind of interest that has been generated as office tenants flock to the area from West Los Angeles, Downtown Los Angeles and beyond. And while there's still prime space for three or four more restaurants, CBRE senior vice president Houman Mahboubi, who represents Century Plaza's nearly 100,000 square feet of dining, shopping and wellness space, indicated that there is strong interest from across the country as well. 'People want all of the amenities. It's the hottest market after Beverly Hills,' said Mahboubi. Office DevelopmentA crucial piece of new development is Century City Center, a 37-story tower developed by JMB Realty Corp. and designed by Johnson Fain, at 1950 Avenue of the Stars. Plans are on track to open the building in the second quarter of next year, anchored by CAA's 400,000-square-foot headquarters along with offices for law firm Sidley Austin and investment firm Clearlake Capital. General contractor Clark Construction celebrated a topping-out ceremony last December, and most of the building has been pre-leased. It has four full floors available, although there has been strong activity, according to the landlord representatives Eric Olofson, Pete Collins and Scott Menkus of Cushman & Wakefield. 'We expect the building to deliver fully leased,' said Eric Olofson, Cushman & Wakefield executive vice chairman. He stated that tenants are attracted to the amenities offered such as a tenant lounge, outdoor park and private gym, along with other features such as wellness amenities. For example, each floor of the building can control its HVAC and refresh air on a nightly basis, should they choose to do so. The building is targeting LEED Platinum certification, which represents the highest level of sustainable design for energy efficiency, minimal water usage, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and a commitment to improving occupant health and well-being. In addition, the building will utilize technology called Cohesion that allows tenants to enter with the convenience and security of digital access with Apple or Google Wallet on their smartphones. They will also have one-tap access to space reservations, onsite events and instant building alerts. The new building has commanded lease rates in excess of $10 per square foot. It represents the high-water mark for the city and much of the West Coast. Those rates have directly led to increases in nearby buildings, where deals have transacted above $9 per square foot. According to data from brokerage firm Savills, contract and effective rents are at an all-time high in Century City, and the top six buildings are above $8 per square foot per month. Savills is among the companies that left Downtown for Century City. The commercial real estate firm plans to expand into a 24,000-square-foot office there later this year. 'You won't find better owners that are well-funded and are tenant service first' said Josh Gorin, president of Savills Los Angeles. He noted that statistics can be skewed by the availability rate at roughly 20% for the 13 million-square-foot area because trophy buildings have availability at half of that figure, and there are very few blocks that can accommodate tenants greater than 50,000 square feet. However, there are price points that work for many companies, with buildings ranging from $4.50 a square foot per month and up. Companies tend to sign long-term leases in Century City to mitigate the cost of construction. Moreover, they are focused on providing amenities that make the workspace collaborative. Savills' new office is hospitality focused, according to Goring, and the space has been reimagined to be a gathering place for employees and clients. Among its many features is a golf simulator. That sentiment was echoed by Andrew Ratner, executive managing director of CBRE's Century City office. The firm relocated to 2000 Avenue of the Stars at the beginning of 2024 that includes a hidden speakeasy-type space within its confines. About 110 employees regularly work at the office, which has 14 different types of workspaces available and connectivity at every desk for both individual and group work. 'Wellness and sustainability were a big part of our planning,' said Ratner. 'Attendance and the energy level in the office are both up. Century City is such a vibrant market.'

Leeds miss out on huge payday as Liverpool agreement will take spending to £215m
Leeds could have been the club to capitalise on Liverpool's splurging this summer after narrowly missing out on one signing who is now bound for a big-money move to Anfield Premier League newcomers Leeds United could have signed Milos Kerkez before the defender opted for Bournemouth. And that near miss may well hurt all the more as he prepares for an imminent £40million transfer to Liverpool. The Hungarian left-back was one of the Premier League 's unexpected stars of the 2024/25 season. Kerkez featured in all 38 of Bournemouth's top-flight games and notched an impressive six assists along the way. With the summer transfer window now open, it was only a matter of time before the big clubs started showing interest. And Kerkez now looks Anfield-bound, as he prepares to become their latest summer signing. Liverpool have broken the British transfer record, as add-ons could see their deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Florian Wirtz cost as much as £116m (with £100m of that being guaranteed payment). The Reds have also signed Jeremie Frimpong from Leverkusen for £29.5m, and while a deal for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for an initial £25m with £4m in add-ons was struck last summer, it counts as a 2025 transfer in terms of Liverpool's finances. That would collectively take their total outlay so far to a whopping £214.5m. There's also suggestions that Liverpool are prepared to step up their interest in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. And the England star will command another hefty fee should he head for Merseyside this summer. Bournemouth shelled out roughly £15.5m to AZ Alkmaar for Kerkez's services in 2023. However, Leeds could have been the ones to pocket nearly £25m in profit from the 21-year-old's sale had they acted more decisively two years ago. Kerkez was just 19 and making waves in the Eredivisie when he first started to attracted attention in England. It was then reported by talkSPORT (via Leeds Live) that Leeds, Leicester City and Bournemouth were all vying for his signature in January 2023. Max Wober had already been brought in to strengthen Jesse Marsch's defence that window. And with Junior Firpo struggling to find form, Kerkez was clearly identified as a talent who could be both a current and future asset. However, Kerkez remained at Alkmaar beyond that January transfer window. And when the summer came around, with Leeds having been relegated, the defender inked a deal to join the Cherries instead. Former Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake had high praise for the player at the time: "An athletic and attacking full-back, Milos will be an excellent addition to our exciting squad," and described Milos as "Milos [is] a talented young player with a great deal of potential. "He was being tracked by a number of clubs in Europe but was very keen to join us after hearing about our plans and ambitions for the future." Now, it seems that the former AC Milan prospect is set for a big money move to Merseyside. And while one can't guarantee the player would have developed the same way in Yorkshire, Leeds will nonetheless rue such a missed opportunity. Touted as the heir to Andy Robertson, the 31-year-old Scot could soon see Kerkez fill his boots. When The Athletic questioned him about his Liverpool links in March, Kerkez said: "It's not like I don't see it. When people say they don't see stuff if someone says something about you, I think it's a lie. It's only if it hits you or not. "If someone says something bad, I do my job, and if someone says something good, I just do my job. That's it. As a kid, you dream to play at the highest level, win the trophies, be on the best teams. These are the things that my agent is on, my dad is on. In the summer, we will see what happens." With Liverpool appearing to wrap up the signing of Kerkez, Kostas Tsimikas might be tempted to leave for pastures new. And Leeds manager Daniel Farke is reportedly interested in getting the Greek to Elland Road.
