Fancy being serenaded by a soap icon? Well, for around £3,000 you can enjoy an intimate night of Barrioke.
EastEnders’ legend Shaun Williamson is touring the UK as a karaoke star but can also be booked for private gigs.
Shaun, 56, played Albert Square’s hapless Barry Evans from 1994-2004 and is promising a night of entertainment fit for the Queen Vic itself.
One fan said of a planned gig in Plymouth in May: “I’ve been waiting 10 years for this” while another “cancelled their wedding” just to attend. Tickets cost £15-£25 and are not Wellard to find – only one gig is sold out so far.
Agent Noel Cornford said: “Shaun’s first appearances were at festivals and he went down so well we decided to spread it around.
