They will do two dates of a show entitled 'An Evening Shared' on February 17 and 18 2025, splitting the bill equally between Jasper Carrott's observational comedy and songs, and Alistair McGowan's impressions and stand up.

Carrot's career dates back to 1969 and he has been a mainstay on television over the years, doing shows under his own name, starring in sitcoms The Detectives and All About Me and presenting popular game show Golden Balls.

When the pair first teamed for a one-off festival appearance it proved a match made in comedy heaven and the pair saw the chance to work together again was simply too good to miss. 

They embark on the tour in Dorking on Sunday February and take in Lincoln before the Wolverhampton dates for which the tickets starting at £20, are already selling fast.

They are available from the Grand theatre website or by calling the website on 01902 429 212
