Hairy Bikers Big Night Out, Durham Gala
If you like the Hairy Bikers hit BBC2 TV shows then you’ll love their stage act.
It’s the first time Geordie Si King and his pal Dave Myers have done a live theatre tour. But it has the same blend of cooking, gags and zany humour which has won them an army of fans across the UK.
In fact so popular is their appeal an original 45-date UK tour has swollen to well over 100 performances now.
Bosses at the Gala had to add another date in March and an extra matinee performance such was the demand for tickets.
As well as recounting how they met and got into TV (they were both behind the scenes in telly before they switched to being in front of the cameras) and anecdotes from their travels, there are out-takes from the BBC series. And there’s a chance to see their never-before-seen screen test. That’s worth the admission money alone.
Audience members got the chance to participate in the action and the boys managed to knock up two exotic meals in 15 minutes.
Si and Dave have bikes, cooking and comedy in common and although the show felt adlibbed it was obviously carefully crafted. And their timing is such they could easily make it as stand-up comedians.
A winning recipe.

Bryan Ferry Shepherds Bush O2 Academy 14 December 2011 Google the words ‘Bryan Ferry’ and you’re assaulted from all directions by the word ‘cool’. It’s the adjective that was grafted to his name when he first slinked onto the music scene with Roxy Music in the 1970s and it’s stuck ever since. So you don’t need me to say it (and I won’t) – but I will marvel at how he’s survived at the top of his tree for 40 years without ever seeming as if he’s trading on past ...
Janis Ian Stockton ARC 1 November 2011 Once described as ‘America’s best singer’ by Ella Fitzgerald, Grammy Award winner Janis Ian’s singing is indeed superb but it’s perhaps secondary to her talents as a songwriter. On her own career Ian said: “I wrote my first song when I was 12, had it published at 13, made my first record when I was 14, had a hit at 15 and was a ‘has been’ by the time I was 16.” Now 60, Janis has a firm following of people who have admired her work...
