Lee Nelson heading to Middlesbrough for Suited and Booted tour date


Live at the Apollo host Lee Nelson has confirmed he will be playing a gig at Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt.


Tickets for Lee’s new show, Suited and Booted, go on sale at the Town Hall Box Office and online at 10am tomorrow.


The Boro gig, which is part of an extended tour, will mark a Teesside return for the comedian following a previous Town Hall visit in October 2013.


Known to comedy lovers both as both the host of Live at the Apollo and for his own BBC3 series, sharp-eyed TV fans will also remember Lee cheekily trying to board the plane to the World Cup with the England squad last summer.

He joins an ever-growing list of top comics heading for the Town Hall this year, including Jimmy Carr, Dara O Briain, Alan Carr, Dylan Moran, Paddy McGuiness and Dave Gorman.


In addition, the Big Mouth Comedy Club continues to bring a mix of familiar faces and some of the best up-and-coming comics to Boro every month.


Rob Guest, of Middlesbrough Town Hall, said: “Lee just absolutely sizzles up there on that stage – easily one of the best live comics you’ll see this side of anywhere.


“He went down a storm here a couple of couple of years back, so it’s great to have him back here this autumn with a brand new show.


“It just adds to an incredible year ahead for comedy fans here at the Town Hall,” added Rob.


“We’ve had a constant string of great comics over the last few years, but this year is shaping up to be our best yet – and there could still be plenty more to come.”


The Middlesbrough date for the show has been confirmed as Thursday, November 12, at 7.30pm.


Tickets are £20 from the Town Hall Box Office on 01642 729729 or online here.
