Freddie Starr coming to Bath

Freddie Starr

Fresh from Celebrity Fit Club, Madcap comic Freddie Starr is coming to Bath in May.

Comedian Freddie Starr has been, by turns, amusing and outraging Britain for 30 years with his unique blend of edgy outrageous stunts and madcap comedy.

Recently he hit the headlines after appearing in hit reality slimming show Celebrity Fit Club. True to form, Freddie spent more time behaving badly than getting fit!

Fans in the west will soon get a chance to see him live on stage when his current UK tour stops in at Theatre Royal Bath on on Sunday 2nd May.

Born in wartime Liverpool, Freddie was very involved in the 60s music scene and enjoyed stints entertaining in Hamburg alongside The Beatles.

Freddie stole the show with his gags and impersonations and it was not long before he went solo with his own hilarious stage show.

In 1970 his big break came when he was invited to appear at the prestigious Royal Variety Performance and he was the first performer in 47 years to be allowed an encore.

Following that appearance, his career took a meteoric rise and since then Freddie has delighted audiences over the past 30 years in summer seasons, clubs, cabaret and television shows.

He has variously been described as madcap, outrageous and crazy. Freddie Star is all of these things but he is also an accomplished actor, an outstanding ballad singer and a brilliant impressionist.

His current theatre tour has been described as unforgettable and not to be missed.

Freddie Starr will be appearing at Theatre Royal Bath on Sunday 2nd May at 7.30pm. The Starr Band and special guest Mike Lancaster will also be making an appearance.

The show is expected to be a sell-out so fans are advised to book early. Tickets are priced at £14.00/£16.00 and the theatre box office can be contacted on 01225 448844.
