John Cooper Clarke announces National UK tour dates

Following the news of John Cooper Clarke's first Manchester show in over 3 years, set to take place in the suitably iconic Palace Theatre, Dr. JCC has today announced a series of national UK headline dates to take place later this year.

JCC is set to visit London, Birmingham, Hull, Gateshead, Norwich, Brighton, and Edinburgh, and these dates will further a series of UK shows for John that also sees him travelling to Leeds and Manchester. The venue in Manchester was personally chosen by The Doc., as it was at the Palace Theatre in the early 60's that he watched Bob Hope perform and decided to try and follow a life in showbiz.

Britain's best loved and most important performance poet, John Cooper Clarke is as vital now as he was in the 70's. His biting, satirical, political and very funny verse, delivered in a unique rapid-fire performance style, resonated with the punk movement. His work recently saw him awarded a Doctorate of Arts at Salford University.
