Royston ‘Roy Chubby Brown’ Hosts ‘An Evening With…’ In Sunderland

By on 21st January 2016in Entertainment

A legend of British comedy is sharing his secrets in a special event at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light…

Royston Vasey, best known for his outspoken character Roy Chubby Brown, will be telling tales from throughout his notorious career in An Evening With Royston Vasey on Thursday February 18th.

As part of the event, organised by 1879 Events Management, the 70 year-old stand up will also be reliving his remarkable rise to fame and discussing how his sarcastic blue humour continues to amuse audiences across the UK.

“Sunderland is like a second home to me,” said Royston, originally from Grangetown, Middlesbrough.  “I have been filling the Sunderland Empire for 20 years, and must have played every pub and club in the city, but never the Stadium of Light.”

“I don’t want to spoil the show too much, but I can tell you that I’ll be sharing secrets about some of the showbiz people I’ve worked with over the years and how I went from a tough upbringing to selling a million DVDs a year.

“I will also be answering audience questions like how many pies I ate, why I wear a patchwork suit, and why I turned down the jungle for half a million quid.

“I look forward to seeing you all there.”

Tickets for An Evening With Royston Vasey at the Stadium of Light are priced at £35 per person, including a three course meal and a welcome drink on arrival. To book, call 0871 911 1555 or email conf&banq@safc.com.
