DANNY BAKER
The latest UK-wide theatre tour by varyingly employable wideboy broadcaster Danny Baker is billed as the last in a trilogy, and if you’re not ask- ing “can tours really be described as trilogies?” then you might instead be wondering why it is titled The Sausage Sandwich Tour, which it is. It’s a reference to a longstanding ‘bit’ in Danny’s shows where he asks people if they have red or brown sauce on a sausage sandwich. Aside from that you can expect a rapid-fire selection of cel- eb/showbiz type anecdotes from his time in TV, radio, podcasting, journalism, washing powder adverts etc.
New Theatre, Cardiff, Sun 16 Apr Tickets: £32. Info:
