The second of the Shakespeare North Playhouse’s ‘Evening With’ events sees the baton passed on to one of our best-loved actors and comedians, Johnny Vegas.
Before he’d ever drunk tea with a knitted monkey or become a TV panel game regular, Johnny Vegas was perhaps the most fearlessly confessional stand-up comedian this country has ever produced.
Well known for his angry rants, surrealism, high husky voice and support of St Helens rugby league club, perhaps we’ll find out how an eleven-year-old Catholic trainee priest from St Helens grow up to become the North West’s answer to Lenny Bruce!
The ‘Evening With’ events will work a little bit like your school relay team – the interviewee from the last event passing on the baton to become the interviewer for the next. And so it will go on… Get ready for an evening of fabulously northern conversation.
