The Chase star Mark Labbett is putting on ‘Meet and beat The Beast’ shows across Wales

Ever fancied your chances taking on one of the UK's best quiz brains? An opportunity has arisen to do just that as one of the chasers on ITV's The Chase gets set to take his show Meet and beat The Beast on the road. Mark Labbett, better known to fans of the show as The Beast, will be heading all around Wales.

The TV personality, who has been on the show since 2009, will be joined by entertainer and broadcaster Owen Money as Mark tells stories from the TV show, his early life, and more. There will then be an opportunity to ask him questions before audience members get the chance to test their knowledge against him with an interactive quiz which will eventually see one person join him on stage for a head-to-head competition.

The show will be taking place at Ffwrnes, Llanelli, on Friday, April 21; Congress Theatre in Cwmbran on Saturday, April 29, and Sunday, April 30; St David's Hall in Cardiff on Thursday, May 4; Blackwood Miners' Institute on Saturday, May 6; Grand Pavilion in Porthcawl on Thursday, May 25; Venue Cymru in Llandudno on Friday, May 26; Torch Theatre in Milford Haven on Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28; and Swansea Grand Theatre on Thursday, June 1.
