“Life in a Northern Town”
Add to your event list
This show is all about Dave’s life in a northern town, so no surprise there. From his working-class childhood in the small, terraced houses round the mills in Bolton through passing his 11 plus and going to grammar school with an ambition to be a doctor, before throwing caution to the wind and leaving to pursue a career in comedy, as you do!
Dave Spikey
A former haematologist turned comic with a style that walks a line between the commonplace and the surreal. He is a British Comedy Award-winner and member of the Peter Kay's star-studded 'Phoenix Nights' team on Channel 4. 'Not only a very funny accomplished comedian, but one of the finest raconteurs around' (Time Out) 'Down-to-earth comic genius' (City Life) 'Spikey's gags are the stuff of stand-up dreams, his interplay and analysis the basis for clever, laugh-after-every-line comedy' (Leicester Mercury).
