VIDEO: Dave Spikey thanks the people of Newark

Comedian Dave Spikey has extended his thanks to the people of Newark as his 30th anniversary tour came to town.

Dave performed his Juggling On A Motorbike show at Newark Palace Theatre on Thursday night, and had the audience roaring with laughter during his set.

The show was a combination of his life story, telling the audience amusing tales of his childhood growing up in Chorley, Lancashire, his stint as a biochemist and moving into comedy after winning national talent show Stairway To The Stars in 1987.

Dave has praised Newark and its people and thanked the town for having him, and you can read The Advertiser's full review of his stand-up show in next week's paper.
