The award-winning comedian Leigh Francis has announced his first ever live tour – and he’s coming to York!

Perhaps best known for his alter-ego Keith Lemon, Leigh will be bringing to life all of his favourite characters live on stage for the first time – from Bear and Avid Merrion to ‘David Dickinson’, ‘Ant and Dec’ and Myrtle.

Leigh Francis My First Time is at York Barbican on Wednesday 20 March 2024.

York Theatre Royal

The show will be full of hilarious sketches with plenty of audience interaction – and is sure to be a night to remember.

The TV presenter, actor, writer and comedian has been making TV audiences laugh for years and is known for shows such as Bo’ Selecta!, Celebrity Juice, The Keith & Paddy Picture Show, and more.

“I’m doing my first ever tour! Never done one before,” said Leigh. “It’s gonna have masks in it! The Bear, Avid Merrion, Amanda Holden’s Gran, not her actual gran but me playing her. I’ll also be playing Keith Lemon; I look just like him!

“So many exclamation marks – I’m excited! Come see ME being other people LIVE for the first time! It’ll be your first time and my first time! Hence the title of the tour MY FIRST TIME!”

Tickets will go on general sale at 10am on Friday 23 June via the York Barbican website.
