Taskmaster star John Kearns is bringing ‘The Varnishing Days’ Tour to St George’s Hall
12 months ago
The Vanishing Days will play at St George’s Hall in March 2024.
Taskmaster Series 14 star, John Kearns is extending his critically acclaimed and sell-out UK tour, The Varnishing Days, for the second time to over 100 dates with 14 shows added in Spring 2024, including a show at St George’s Hall.
Following on from two sold-out London Soho Theatre runs, with multiple dates at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre added due to demand and a sold-out two-week run of the show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year, John is currently on his largest tour to date.
The new Spring leg starts in February 2024 and includes dates in York, Glasgow, Bristol, Birmingham, Newcastle, Liverpool, Cardiff, Leeds and Salford.
The Varnishing Days is the heart-stopping, glasses-dropping, hard-rocking, wig-shaking, levothyroxine-taking, knee-knocking, boot-licking, justifying, teeth rattling, digressing new show from stand up comedian to the stars John Kearns.
Go silent as I walk on! Acknowledge when something funny happens! Leave discussing dinner plans! Others will be implicated. Points will be circled and missed. Hell, it’s a man trying his best! When I visit your town dogs will start barking, as will clergy. Your microwave will go haywire. The lights in your vestibule will flicker and the Bank of England will nervously look at interest rates. On the day I write this, the pound has hit an all time low against the dollar. Mark my words. This show will break that record again and again and again.
Ten years on since he first debuted at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, John is still the only comedian to have ever won the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show (Shtick) and Best Newcomer (Sight Gags for Perverts) in the awards forty-year history.
