Funny man Dave Spikey, famed for his stand-up performances and his roles
in some of TV’s best-loved comedies is returning to the Monaco Ballroom,
Hindley this spring.
The double British Comedy Award Winner, co-writer and star of Phoenix
Nights is back on the road with a long awaited new live show, ‘The Best
Medicine’. Spikey will play a double header of shows at the 600 seat
Monaco Ballroom on Wednesday 12th and Sunday 30th March 2008.
Dave’s previous performances at the Monaco sold out in record time.
Comedy fans are urged to purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment.
Dave said: “It’s been a while since I’ve been on the road but I wanted
to play here because I always get a great reception. The Monaco still
retains a classic ballroom feel and when over 600 people are packed in
here is a sight to behold. The atmosphere is always electric and I
always feel at home on the Monaco stage.”
According to Dave’s publicity material ‘The Best Medicine’ title comes
from the belief that, “laughter boosts the immune system, reduces stress
and blood pressure, and even burns calories!”
Since he last toured, the award-winning comedian appeared alongside
Jimmy Carr in Channel 4’s ‘8 out of 10 Cats’, and hosted ‘Bullseye’.
Spikey also won ‘Celebrity Mastermind’ and was a judge on BBC1’s talent
show ‘When Will I Be Famous?’ He also found the time to write and
co-star with Johnny Vegas in ITV’s critically acclaimed sit-com ‘Dead
Man Weds’, and write and co-star in BBC1’s comedy drama ‘Magnolia’.
Leisure Venues Deputy Manager Chris Gore said: “The Monaco is the
perfect venue for comedy and Dave Spikey’s show always goes down
superbly. We are looking forward to welcoming Dave back; he is one of
the top comedy performers around. Tickets will sell out quickly so I
would urge Spikey fans to get theirs as early as possible.”
Dave Spikey will play a double header of shows at the Monaco Ballroom,
Hindley, near Wigan on Wednesday 12th and Sunday 30th March 2008.
Tickets are priced at £17.50 and £16 (concessions). Contact the Box
