EAST End funnyman Micky Flanagan has announced his largest UK tour.

The series of dates follow his hugely successful 2010/2011 tour which was extended a number of times and ended with the fastest selling stand-up show in the West End since Eddie Izzard in 1995.

In total Micky performed to 250,000 people all over the country.

His new Back in the Game tour doesn’t take place until next year, but due to such popularity, many of the dates are sure to sell out very quickly.

He has named 57 dates in all, with two shows at the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend on February 27 and 28 and at the Ipswich Regent on March 1.

Tickets are on sale today.

Micky hit the big time after his acclaimed slot at the 2010 Royal Variety Performance and since then he has appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Live at the Apollo, and Mock the Week.

Tickets are available by calling the Cliffs Pavilion on 01702 351135 and at www.thecliffspavilion.co.uk or the Regent box office on 01473 433100 and at www.ipswichregent.com
