Writer, broadcaster, podcaster, author and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! runner up Reverend Richard Coles is setting off on a solo UK tour this year.
His show, Borderline National Trinket, will start in Norwich on 25 May 2025, and then tour to Guildford, Richmond, Chester, St Albans, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, York, Bournemouth, Oxford, and Tunbridge Wells.
From Strictly Come Dancing to I’m A Celebrity… by way of 80s pop legend The Communards, and the nation’s favourite vicar, Reverend Richard Coles has led an extraordinary life.
With his trademark wit and warmth, Reverend Richard Coles will share stories from his diverse career—charting his journey from 80s pop stardom with The Communards to life in the pulpit, broadcasting, and beyond. Expect candid reflections, hilarious anecdotes, and a glimpse behind the scenes of his most memorable moments in the spotlight.
Reverend Richard Coles is the only vicar to have had a UK number-one hit single and to have appeared as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing and since the first leg of this tour, he’s charmed his way to the final of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… He is also a much-loved broadcaster, and a Sunday Times bestselling author whose new novel, A Death On Location, comes out this summer. Is this national trinket on the verge of becoming a national treasure?
Reverend Richard Coles said in a statement: “I am thrilled to be heading back out on tour again, I hope to be able to bring the confused ramblings of an aging starlet to audiences across the UK, and swapping creepy crawlies for candid conversation.”
Borderline National Trinket is touring to selected venues in the UK from 26 May to 17 July 2025.
