What a Ding Dang Do! Paddy’s on the Road to the Monaco |
|
|
Phoenix Nights star Paddy McGuinness (aka
Paddy the doorman) is heading to the Monaco Ballroom, Hindley in the new
year, as part of his first national solo tour, ‘The Dark Side’. Paddy’s appearance at the revamped Monaco on Thursday 23rd February 2006, presented by Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust in association with No Third Entertainments, follows two sell-out ‘Jumping on the Bandwagon’ tours with other stars of the Channel 4 hit show. McGuinness is following in the footsteps of fellow Boltonian and Phoenix star Dave Spikey, who recently played two sell-out shows at the Monaco, at a venue that is fast becoming one of Greater Manchester’s capitals of comedy. “I can’t wait to get the show on the road and I’m really looking forward to performing at the Monaco. I know Dave speaks really highly of the set up there and the atmosphere is supposed to be fantastic,” says Paddy. “My show is all about having fun and getting the audience involved. People in Wigan and the surrounding areas, share a similar sense of humour as the people of Bolton, they know how to have a laugh at themselves, so it should be a great night.” “We can’t wait for the show to kick off. The Monaco is building a good reputation as a comedy venue and we are keen to enhance that. We are determined to provide people with quality entertainment at an affordable price,” says Brian Yates, Leisure Venues Manager. “We will have more surprises on show at the Monaco over the next twelve months. I would urge people to buy their tickets early for this one – the Dave Spikey shows sold out within days.” Tickets, priced £15, will be on sale from Thursday 15th December from the Tourist Information Centre (opposite Wigan Northwestern train station), or by calling the booking number 01942 825677. -ends- NOTES TO EDITORS: For further information on this News Release please contact Chris Dunbar, Public Relations Officer, Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust on 01942 486937 or at c.dunbar@wlct.org Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust: Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust is a charitable trust working on behalf of Wigan Council to manage and support Leisure and Cultural facilities, initiatives and events for 300,000 residents across the Wigan Borough.
