Reverend Richard Coles: Borderline National Trinket
Richard Coles will take to the stage early next year as part of his first ever national tour with a date at the Assembly Rooms!
About Reverend Richard Coles: Borderline National Trinket
Reverend Richard Coles is the only British vicar to have had a number-one hit single and to have appeared as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing - a claim which seems unlikely to be matched any time soon. He is also a Sunday Times bestselling author, Twitter phenomenon and enormously loved broadcaster.
Sex, drugs, pop stardom, religious epiphany; love, a dream job, and the madness of grief. Some or all of this may come out as Richard lifts the lid on a life truly and truthfully lived.
An intimate evening with a unique national treasure embarking on a first full national tour because he's done pretty much everything else a person can do.
