Darlington Hippodrome To Welcome Brian Conley

With a career spanning over 40 years, Brian Conley is one of the UK's best loved personalities and fresh from his recent appearance on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing 2017, Still The Greatest Entertainer - In His Price Range will see him entertaining audiences with a mix of music and comedy, including some of his best-known and much loved characters, such as Dangerous Brian and Nick Frisby ("It's a Puppet!"), as well as paying tribute to the many West End Musicals he's starred in - including Me and My Girl, Hairspray, Oliver, The Music Man and Barnum.

Conley will also be welcoming back guest act Mat Ricardo, the gentleman juggler. Mat is one of the most unique variety performers in the country, both hilarious and astonishing.

As well as touring the length and breadth of the UK, Conley has recently recorded an exciting new television series called Buy It Now for Channel 4.

Brian Conley's extensive career spans television, stage and film. His break out in television came in 1992 when ITV commissioned the hugely successful The Brian Conley Show, which went on to become Britain's most-watched entertainment show at the time, coining his famous catchphrase 'It's a puppet!'. He has presented the Royal Variety Performance eight times, and recently hosted two series of BBC One's The TV That Made Me. Conley has worked extensively on stage throughout his career where his West End theatre credits include Hairspray, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Me and My Girl and Jolson.

Brian Conley comes to Darlington Hippodrome on Tuesday 1 May.
