Leigh Francis coming to Liverpool on first ever live tour

Comedian Leigh Francis is coming to Liverpool on his first-ever live tour.

The Celebrity Juice star is bringing his classic characters and sketches to the stage in front of a live audience. Favourites and big hitters including Keith Lemon, Bear, Avid Merrion and Myrtle, along with other niche inclusions, will all be prevalent across the 18-date tour.

Liverpool welcomes the comedian on March 30 at the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic which promises to be a cheeky and over-the-top night of fun and theatricalities.

Discussing the tour, Leigh said: "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!'"

Tickets are on sale this Friday from gigsandtours.com and ticketmaster.co.uk.
