Comedian Leigh Francis has announced the My First Time Tour.
The Celebrity Juice host will kick off his 18-date UK trek on March 6 in Bath, before stops in Guildford, Bournemouth, London, Cambridge, Sheffield, Halifax, Salford, York, Glasgow, Hull, Bradford, Buxton, Newcastle, Nottingham, Liverpool and Birmingham, wrapping up in his hometown of Leeds on April 6.
Featuring sketches involving his characters Keith Lemon, Bear and Avid Merrion, as well as his take on David Dickinson, Ant and Dec, and Myrtle, the shows will mark the comic's first live tour. He said:
"Hey, really exciting news! Well exciting for me! I hope it’s exciting for you! Or at least provokes some sort of interest! I mean, just look how many exclamation marks there is in this quote! It’s definitely news with exciting intent!
"So what is this exciting news? I’m doing my first ever tour! Never done one before. It’s gonna have masks in it! The Bear, Avid Merrion, Amanda Holden’s Gran, not her actual gran but me playing her. I’ll also be playing Keith Lemon, I look just like him! It’s me doing all the characters I do that hopefully have the intent to provoke hilarity! So many exclamation marks, and the word ‘intent’ and ‘provoke’ twice! I’m excited! Come see ME being other people LIVE for the first time! It’ll be your first time and my first time! Hence the title of the tour MY FIRST TIME! (There’s another exclamation mark) how exciting!"
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on June 23.
