Dave Spikey brings his "Words Don’t Come Easy" tour to Huddersfield Town Hall

Tickets go on sale today for popular comedian Dave Spikey who will be performing at Huddersfield Town Hall on Thursday November 17.  Comedy continues to be popular at the town hall and Dave is the latest to join the line-up of forthcoming shows.

Inspired by the fantastic audience response to his deconstruction of song lyrics in his Best Medicine Tour combined with his fascination with the vagaries of the English Language, this hilarious new show ‘Words Don’t Come Easy’ examines many more situations in life where words really don't come easy . 

These include tongue-tied parents explaining the facts of life, ridiculous newspaper stories, magazine poems, pathetic adolescent chat-up lines, weird hospital speak, learning a foreign language and an extended selection of song lyrics that range from the lazy, through surreal to the ridiculous.

Throw in a 'Champion the Wonder Horse' sing-a-long, Ancient Abyssinian Contraception, Rubbish School Trips, Epidural Anaesthesia and The Last Supper and you have all the ingredients for a rich and spicy comedy casserole; a sort of Lexicon-carne!

Tickets are priced at £17.50 (no concessions) and are available from town hall booking offices, tel: 01484 223200 / 01924 324501 / 01484 222444 or book online at www.kirklees.gov.uk/townhalls
