James May is bringing his live show to the UK with Australia tickets on sale now
The Top Gear presenter will host his live show, Explorers – The Age of Discover, Down Under before bringing it to the UK in October this year.
In February, James May presented his latest TV series, the Channel 4 show James May's Great Explorers. The factual TV series saw May chart the journeys of the likes of Christopher Columbus, Sir Walter Raleigh and Captain James Cook. Now, May is bringing elements of this show to the stage in Explorers - The Age of Discovery.
Explorers – The Age of Discovery is a live show which will see May bring to life the stories of extraordinary explorers – those who have travelled deserts, scaled mountains, explored space, and sailed across oceans (basically, a lot more impressive than the likes of us!).
Among the explorers whose stories will be told are Lief Erikson, John Cabot and Gertrude Bell.
Speaking about his live show on Instagram, the Top Gear presenter said: "I'm going live, in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore with my new Explorers show. Everything from hunter-gatherers to astronauts, plus me, speaking".
Tickets are on sale now for May's shows in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, with pre-sale tickets for his UK shows being released at the end of April. So if you're based Down Under, you're in luck! If you're in the UK, be sure to bookmark this article for when the UK show tickets are released.
