JIM DAVIDSON ANNOUNCES FIRST EVER EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE SHOW
‘NO FURTHER ACTION’
RAINY HALL, ASSEMBLY HALL, 1 – 24 AUGUST 2014
TICKETS ON SALE 13 APRIL
Very few comedians could turn the worst year of their life into a resounding success, but fresh from winning the most successful ever series of Big Brother by a landslide, comedy king Jim Davidson has done exactly that.
Jim will be making a long waited debut at the Edinburgh Fringe with an hour of comedy, in a show entitled ‘No Further Action’. He will be performing at Rainy Hall, Assembly Hall from 1 – 24 August 2014.
‘No Further Action’ will see Jim tell the story of his arrest and the nightmare 12 months that followed, the clearing of his name and winning the heart of the nation all over again as a Big Brother champion. Jim will be doing all this in the only way he knows how, by entertaining people, something he’s been doing to great acclaim for nearly 40 years. It promises to be the most outrageous, hilarious and insightful show Jim has ever performed, but most of all it will be the truth.
On announcing his first ever run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Jim said: “I have played some of the very best gigs of my career in Scotland – the crowds are like no other in the UK. I can’t believe it’s taken me almost 40 years to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe! I had a rough ride for a while last year, but it’s great to be back on stage doing what I love, and the best way of dealing with a nightmare is to talk about it! I always seem to find the funny side… And then, for a finale, along came Big Brother. Wait till you hear the inside stories on that!”
No stranger to the limelight, having dominated prime time TV comedy for over a decade, Jim is not only one of the country’s best established comics, but one of the most popular stand-up comedians of all time. Alongside hosting much loved shows such as Big Break and The Generation Game, Jim’s sell-out theatre tours and pantomimes have broken box office records and received critical acclaim.
During the 80’s Jim travelled the world performing for the troops, taking his top quality entertainment to some of the most inhospitable places imaginable. For this he was awarded an OBE. Now his time in Big Brother has come to an end, this brilliant comedian is back where he belongs – on stage, entertaining audiences.
