3,000 tickets snapped up for Greg Davies at Shrewsbury's Theatre Severn
More than 3,000 tickets to see Shropshire comedian Greg Davies perform back in his home county have now been sold.
The Wem funnyman will perform on five consecutive nights in September next year at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury.
Since tickets went on sale on Monday, 95 per cent have been snapped up by fans of the Inbetweeners star.
Craig Reeves, marketing manager at Theatre Severn, said: "There are just 50 or 60 tickets left across the five shows which is great news.
"Looking ahead to our 2017 programme, the dates with Greg from September 3 to 7 are the start of our Autumn offering.
"It is a cracking way to start our new season and to be able to welcome over 3,000 people to five sold out shows will be great."
Davies will open his UK tour, You Magnificent Beast, with the shows, which are scheduled from September 3.
He previously trod the boards at Shrewsbury in 2013 when he brought his The Back of My Mum's Head tour to the venue.
Brought up in Wem, he was educated at Thomas Adams Schoo before he became a teacher but soon found fame as a stand-up comic and has been best known for his work on The Inbetweeners, Cuckoo, Taskmaster and Man Down.
