he Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond has announced that acclaimed comedian, actor and writer Tom Davis will perform two exclusive warm-up shows later this year.
The shows will take place on Friday, October 31, and Saturday, November 1, at 8pm, ahead of Davis’s nationwide tour.
Best known for his starring roles in King Gary and The Curse, as well as the BAFTA and RTS Award-winning Murder in Successville, Davis is one of the UK’s most recognisable comedy talents.

The Richmond theatre, Britain’s oldest working playhouse in its original form, has become a regular stop for leading comedy acts. This season’s line-up also includes Josh Jones, Andy Parsons and Rob Rouse.
Jo Mawhinney, chief executive of the theatre, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Tom Davis to Richmond. It’s a fantastic opportunity for local audiences to enjoy one of the country’s top comedy stars in a unique and historic venue. We are expecting tickets to sell very quickly.”
