All-round entertainer brings stories covering his whole career across the country in 2018

Suggs has announced a huge UK tour for 2018, with presale tickets on sale at 10am on Wed 4 Oct, and tickets on general sale from 10am on Fri 6 Oct.

The Madness man, real name Graham McPherson, is following up the huge success of his sell out tour My Life Story. Back then, Suggs' engaging live show saw him weave stories from his childhood with tales from his musical career, and his time as a chart topper with Madness.

This time, with What A King Cnut he focuses on life at the top once he'd made it, with surprises and stories of excess involving, amongst other things, the Olympic Games, Bowie's driveway and Buckingham Palace. Not all at once, obviously, but still a world away from his early years in North London. He's joined on stage by 'Deano', who offers piano accompaniments on the musical interludes, as well as comedic interjections.

The huge tour kicks off in Swindon on Wed 31 Jan, travelling the country throughout February and March, with Scottish shows in Glasgow and Dunfermline, and a show in the town of his birth at Hastings' White Rock Theatre on Sun 11 Feb.
