Sold-out Jim Davidson adds second show in Tenbury Wells

Comedian Jim Davidson has added another performance on the country border after his scheduled show sold out.

Promoter James Davis said Davidson had sold out a planned gig at The Regal, in Tenbury Wells, which is scheduled for January 28.

Mr Davis, from Chuckle Nights, said: "Due to a sell out of the 8pm show, Chuckle Nights Comedy Club has add a late night show due to high popular demand."

Tickets, priced £20, are available from the box office at Tenbury House, 36 Teme Street, Tenbury, by calling (01584) 819005, by e-mailing jdavis@cdm-ltd.com or by visiting www.norwelllapley.com/chucklenights

The second performance will take place at 10.30pm.

The concert is Mr Davidson's first in the area following a huge controversy two years ago when he took the stage of Telford's revamped £2 million theatre, The Place at Oakengates, and shocked his fans.

Mr Davidson ranted about his "nightmare" experience in the town.

He compared his hotel accommodation to a place which was "condemned but had stayed open".

There were furious words for The Place and invective for Telford's shopping centre.

Mr Davidson's bile extended to town centre car parks, where he briefly lost his car, and he judged the town's one-way system must have been designed by a blind person.

His remarks caused a storm.
