Dr John Cooper Clarke, Simon Day

Britain’s best loved poet has announced a huge UK headline tour for November/December 2018.

John will perform live shows across some of the UK’s most iconic venues including a headline date at Manchester’s prestigious Bridgewater Hall, and a very special show at one of the most famous theatres in the capital city, the London Palladium. John will also be joined by a very special guest - the acclaimed comedian Simon Day - who will be performing as Yorkshire poet Geoffrey Allerton.

The show is a sensational showcase of spoken word – a chance to see John perform material both classic and brand new as he delves into his vast back catalogue, as well as his prolific collection of new work, all read from his trademark battered notebooks, delivered in his legendary, rapid fire style and iconic Salford drawl. Combine this with his hilarious observations, gags and off the wall chat and it adds up to the chance to see a living legend at the top of his game.
