How to get Leigh Francis tickets as Keith Lemon comedian announces first-ever UK tour
Keith Lemon, Bear, Avid Merrion and a cavalcade of other characters are coming to a theatre near you next spring as Leigh Francis has announced his first UK comedy tour. Here’s how you can tickets today.
Keith Lemon, AKA Leigh Francis, is going on tour next Spring for the first time in his comedy career.
The man who brought us Bear, Avid Merrion and Amanda Holden’s Gran will be heading to venues up and down the country for the My First Time tour.
The comedian will be making stops in London, Liverpool, Birmingham and more from March until April next year, and will be wrapping up the run of shows in his hometown of Leeds.
Promising “Fun times LIVE!”, Francis has said he’ll be “bringing back all the fun I’ve had over the '00s up to present day!” with masks, sketches, and audience interaction in store.
Fans of Francis will know him best for his Keith Lemon persona – who he’s played since 2006 on shows like Celebrity Juice, Lemon La Vida Loca and The Keith Lemon Sketch Show. In fact, many of you out there may not have known the comic’s real name, as he so rarely makes a TV appearance out of character.
Before Lemon, the comedian mainly appeared as Avid Merrion from the sketch show Bo' Selecta! Where he also played a series of rubber-masked celebrities and, of course, Bear.
Over the years, his many characters have had spin-offs, singing shows and parody reality TV series, but never a live tour – so to be a part of this historic moment, here’s how you can get tickets today.
