Following his acclaimed, sell-out 46-date tour in 2024, renowned homosexual and national trinket Julian Clary has announced that he will be fixing to saddle up once more, as he heads back out on the road with a brand-new set of Spring 2025 dates for his hit western-themed stand-up show, ‘A Fistful of Clary’!
The revered comic and Taskmaster (C4) star will play 28 new shows across the UK, from 30 April – 8 June 2025, including MAST Mayflower Studios on 29 May 2025.
Of the tour extension, Julian said: “Oh no. Do I have to do this? Rylan and I were going to go backpacking in Wales. Sigh.”
Yee-haw! You’ve heard of The Man With No Name? Well, here’s The Man With No Shame….
“Yes, it has a Western theme,” the old buckaroo Clary confirms, sipping Bourbon from a pint tankard. “It was only a matter of time before I eased myself into some chaps,” he adds, dabbing his temples with a damp flannel.
Julian is sure that the men in the audience will be so eager to join his posse they won’t be able to keep their hands off his Rawhide. The lucky few will play with him on stage in the Hang ‘em Low saloon, where Wild Bill Hickok used to meet his special friend, Raving Clarence la Fruit. But life in the Old West was tough. Not all of Julian’s wild bunch will be around to witness the final shoot-out that will result in Julian giving himself selflessly at high noon to the last man standing. Who knows what else he’ll do for a few dollars more?
“A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do…” drawls Julian cryptically before becoming engrossed in his embroidery.
The 2025 tour extension will follow an exciting 2024 for Julian, who has recently finished playing the role of Herod as part of the UK tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, the Olivier Award-winning reimagined production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s celebrated musical.
This summer, Clary has released a 10th anniversary reissue of his much-loved children’s books series ‘The Bolds’. He has a new upcoming mystery novel set for release in October 2024, set in the wings of the London Palladium and titled ‘Curtain Call To Murder’.
Clary starred as part of the line-up for the 16th series of C4’s BAFTA-winning Taskmaster, coming second. This Christmas, he will headline his ninth consecutive run in the London Palladium’s annual pantomime, playing the title role of ‘Robin Hood’, alongside star guest Jane McDonald, and regulars Nigel Havers and Paul Zerdin.
