Comedian, Actor, Writer, Presenter, Dave Spikey is tonight appearing along side his special guest and juggler extraordinaire Dave Royle at Southport Theatre in his "Overnight Success Tour 2003".

Pictured below is "Spikey" arriving at the venue.



"Jerry St Clair" from "Phoenix Nights" has many sell out dates already under his belt. The British Comedy Award Winner's stand-up career began in 1992 after many years writing routines and sketches for other comedians, TV and radio.

He was 50% of the legendary double act 'Spikey and Sykey' who's most notable success was on Central TV's 'New Faces' show where they finished a close third to a Todmorden whippet juggler and a Latvian plumber who played 'I've got sixpence, jolly jolly sixpence' on a radiator.

After reaching this zenith of achievement, S & S's career inevitably plummeted and they split up in Scarborough soon afterwards over an argument concerning fish**.

Since that fateful day, Dave has spent the intervening years developing a variety of top class sets to cater for every audience.

Dave has a distinctive style and approach to comedy - The "Guardian" described him as, "a comic who walks a tightrope between the comedy of the everyday and the surreal, pausing occasionally to place a foot down firmly on either side". And indeed Dave is one of the very few comedians who works with great success in both the Alternative & Mainstream arenas.

His writing credits are impressive and he was awarded The British Comedy Award for Best New TV Comedy for "That Peter Kay Thing" which he co-wrote with Peter Kay. Their credits also include "The Services" and "Phoenix Nights".
