Reverend Richard Coles: Borderline National Trinket
14 July 2025 @ 7.30pm to 9.30pm
About Reverend Richard Coles: Borderline National Trinket
Reverend Richard Coles is the only British vicar to have had a number-one hit single and to have appeared as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing and since the first leg of this tour, he’s charmed his way to the final of ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity’.
He is also an enormously loved broadcaster and a ‘Sunday Times’ bestselling author whose new novel ‘A Death On Location’ comes out this summer. Is this national trinket on the verge of becoming a national treasure?
Many would say so, but the man himself would probably disagree. Still, whether you see him as a treasure or trinket, this is a wonderful opportunity for an intimate evening with one of the UK’s most distinctive voices. Anecdotes from a life well lived, gossip, wit, and wisdom… and a Q and A for those curious about the jungle. After phenomenal demand for the first dates last year, the Reverend returns for a new leg of his first-ever full national tour.
The second half of the show is a Q&A.
