MADNESS front-man Suggs has set a date for the Scarborough Spa next year.

In ‘Suggs: My Life Story’ the Madness front-man (aka Graham McPherson) takes to the stage in a hilarious, yet moving, one-man tour de force playing to rave reviews.

This much loved show goes back on tour next year, with the very first night at Scarborough Spa’s theatre on Friday, April 22.

The death of Suggs' beloved cat on his fiftieth birthday triggers a personal quest to discover what happened to the father he never knew. Sunned by what he learns Suggs is taken back to his childhood on the tough streets of 1970's Soho and his first appearance on Top Of The Pops at the age of eighteen...

Is it a play? Is it stand-up comedy? Is it Music Hall? Whatever it is hold on to your seats as Suggs goes on to stumble and plummet through the trapdoor of failure. Then trampolines back up to catch the passing trapeze of show business success!

With musical accompaniment and uncalled for interjection from Deano his loyal manservant-cum-pianist.

Tickets for ‘Suggs: My Life Story’ go on sale Friday, November 20, at 9am. Tickets are priced at £26.50 and are available from The Spa’s Box Office on 01723 821888 and via www.scarboroughspa.co.uk
