‘Boris Out!’ will be held at the Tyneside Irish Centre in Gallowgate, Newcastle, on Sunday, November 14, and organiser Les Robson is delighted with the response.
Les, from Cramlington, said: "Like all politicians Boris Johnson is ripe for parody. He has done at least 25 u-turns in the last 18 months and to paraphrase MP Dawn Butler, considering Johnson is a Tory, he is very liberal with the truth.
"Obviously, we could take aim at his personal life but this show isn't about that. It will be political satire and great fun.
"It's a show aimed at socialists so Tories, racists and royalists should give it a miss. It'll be like Spitting Image, except it'll be funny."

The show, which features, stand-up comedy, sketches, poems and songs will involve a cast of 16 professional performers from the region.
Les added: "The sketches are hilarious. I think it's important to hold politicians to account, especially these days.
"Sadly, the only opposition to Boris Johnson has come from professional footballers and the anti-racism organisations."
Les added: "I sent out 50 emails to tell people about the show and we sold out all 130 tickets in a fortnight. People want a good laugh and this will be a cracking show.
"Hence, the addition of a matinee performance at 3pm."
