More tour dates for Chris Ramsey

Chris Ramsey has announced more spring tour dates.

Ramsey’s Feeling Lucky tour goes back on the road on 27 March, but he has already extended the tour, with new dates in Hull, Blackpool and London.

He also has two dates at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle, on 7 and 8 June – by far his biggest venue to date.

He said: “The first leg of the tour was so much fun and I can’t wait to get back out on the road.

“We’ve added extra dates in London, Hull (on sale soon) and Blackpool. Started off pretty impressive with ‘London’ there didn’t it…”

Ramsey also confirmed he is presenting an award at tomorrow night’s NME Awards.

He said: “Last time I watched it, Ryan from The Cribs jumped across a table and got glass stuck in his back.”

“Pretty rock n roll, but if anyone spills drink in my hair I’ll burn the building down.”

Tour aside, the South Shields comic has a busy month ahead.

Ramsey is back on Celebrity Juice for three shows in March and April, as well as a second appearance on C4 panel show 8 Out Of Ten Cats on 27 March.

And next week Ramsey returns to the North East for a Hebburn reunion show at the Newcastle Stand with Steffen Peddie, Neil Grainger and Hebburn creator Jason Cook.

The BBC2 sitcom was commissioned for a second, six-part series last month, including a 2013 Christmas special.
