Steve Coogan UK Tour

Comic legend Steve Coogan hits the road again later this year for a 40 date UK Tour. Titled by the hilariously accurate moniker of "Steve Coogan is Alan Partridge and other less successful characters", we've already booked our tickets for the Glasgow show and cannot wait. Heres hoping that we see the continual downfall of Alan Partridge, Paul Calf insulting students, Duncan Thicket, Tony Ferrino (works better live than on TV) and an apperance by Tommy Saxondale - a very underrated series.

The tour starts in October and venues are set to include Stoke-on-Trent, Oxford, Wolverhampton, Derby, two nights in Nottingham, Blackburn, Liverpool, Ipswich, Bristol, Norwich (up with The Partidge!). Other venues include Southend, Sheffield, Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester, Portsmouth, Brighton, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Newcastle and Leeds. In order to avoid dissapointment we would recommend booking hotel rooms early (check here for some good offers) - especially in the bigger towns and cities. Brighton Hotels, Glasgow, Leeds and Norwich are all likely to be very busy.
