Alan Carr is coming to Sunderland Empire on new tour and here's how to get tickets

His gappy grin and friendly style have won Alan Carr millions of fans and his own chat show on TV. But after a huge list of radio and TV appearances the comic is going back to his roots.

From September 2020, Alan will begin at tour of 57 UK theatres, including two dates at the Sunderland Empire.

It's been four years since Alan last went on tour, and in that time he's managed to find himself in all sorts of dramas. Between his star-studded wedding day and becoming an accidental anarchist, they've ranged from fearing for his life at border control to becoming a reluctant farmer.

It’s been a busy few years for Alan since he finished hosting 16 series of his BAFTA award-winning Channel 4 chat-show Alan Carr Chatty Man.

His recent TV shows include host of two series of There’s Something About Movies (Sky One), host of Kylie’s Secret Night (Channel 4), Alan Carr’s Celebrity Replay (ITV), host of I Don’t Like Mondays (Channel 4), The Price Is Right (Channel 4) and Alan Carr’s Happy Hour (Channel 4). Alan has also co-hosted four Stand Up To Cancer live fundraising events for Channel 4.

His other recent TV appearances include Judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK(BBC One), A League Of Their Own European Roadtrip (Sky One), Celebrity Bake Off Stand Up To Cancer Special (Channel 4), and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (Channel 4).

Alan has also written two highly commended autobiographies - Look Who It Is! (released in 2008 by HarperCollins) and Alanatomy (released in 2016 by Penguin). He can also be regularly heard on BBC Radio 2 where he presents numerous shows throughout the year with co-host Mel Sykes.

Later this year, Alan will be back on our television screens as host of ITV’s Alan Carr’s Epic Gameshow. The series will see five of the country’s all-time favourite gameshows supersized and reinvigorated for a brand new audience.

The five legendary formats getting the big scale treatment are: Play Your Cards Right, Take Your Pick, Strike It Lucky, Bullseye, and The Price is Right.

Also in 2020, Alan will be returning as a judge on a second series of the BBC’s RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
