The multi-talented Danny Baker is calling in at Swindon’s Wyvern Theatre on Wednesday with a new hit show called Good Time Charlie’s Back!
The comedy writer, former NME journalist, radio DJ, television presenter, screenwriter and star of the 2016 version of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here is back on tour following the success of his Cradle To Grave tour.
He says: “I was asked to reconsider my initial statement that I would never undertake such a venture again.
“The applause of the public can be a seductive narcotic, and weaker souls than I would be tempted to repeat the thrills harvested during that ‘uproarious whirligig of joy’ simply to bolster their already outsized egos.
“After much reflection I have decided that I cannot allow such rampant narcissism to cloud my judgment. I said ‘one farewell’ tour’ and I meant ‘one farewell tour’. There will be no more.
“Therefore I am pleased to announce that, to mark this momentous decision, I will be embarking on a nationwide, high-principled, peppy series of one-night-stands calling at dozens of theatres around the country starting in May 2018.”
The shows are billed as startling, high kicking, fresh and eruptive - and often under three hours long.
Tickets for the event, which starts at 7.30pm. are £26, or £24 for students and OAPs. To book, call 01793 524481 or visit swindontheatres.co.uk.
