2012 TOUR DATES – MOSTLY ON SALE NOW OR IF NOT BLOODY SOON
Here finally are confirmed tour dates for next autumn. We’ve gone for quite a lot of favourites from the 2010 tour, some new ones as always – not that there are many places left I’ve not played – as well as return visits to the two best audiences of this year (Shrewsbury and Winchester; Aberdeen, the other candidate, still being worked on) and also to the two fastest-selling venues of the year (Kendal and Bromsgrove) as a little thank-you. Please note that this is not quite the finished article yet. Most noticeably, there are no dates in London or Glasgow yet. Both of these will be rectified shortly.
Also, there are warmups in Norwich (January, but mostly sold out), Soho (Feb) and Bristol Tobacco Factory (Feb), but I might get you to google those for yourself as I’m typing against a time limit before the boy wakes up. Plus, I’m in Australia March and April, but again, let’s make that a separate blog. Here are the autumn dates. What a lovely last-minute Christmas present tickets might make for someone.

Can’t wait for this tour. You put on some of the best comedy shows I’ve ever seen.

Come back to Newport, Pembs?

It’s great you’re coming to Huddersfield! Saves having to trek to Leeds, Manchester or Sheffield for a change.

[...] Mark Watson is touring the U.K. (and bits of Australia) next year. I think you should go if can. [...]

I see you’ve gone for Felixstowe rather than Ipswich this time. That’ll be fine if the Spa Pavillion is still open by then. The local council are due to pull their funding in June, the last I heard.

Yay! Bedford, my home town

Would be nice to see you at the tobacco factory in Feb, but then I’d also want to go to the colston hall gig as well. Going to both would feel a bit like stalking and I do have a wedding to pay for.
Hmmm

Hooray for Canterbury! I will buy a ticket the minute the Gulbenkian has it on their website.
Posted by Charles on December 19, 2011
Warrington! Get in, I can walk to the gig this year. Perhaps have a drink after Mr Watson?

Mark…please please consider doing Middleton Arena on your tour!!?? The Lowry is so far away fro me and so awkward to get back home from. Boo Hoo…dont wanna miss your next tour, but may have no choice
Posted by Megan on December 19, 2011
One day, you’ll tour Canada. Or at least come back to Just for Laughs. Maybe. Possibly.
I hope you have a good long break before this tour is in full swing. I’m exhausted just thinking about it.

Bought Huddersfield tickets last Friday!

I definitely didn’t do a little squeal when I spotted Cheltenham on the list.
(I totally did.)

Phew! to the rectifying of the London and Glasgow dates-all being well, I should be in Glasgow for next autumn, so will get the chance to see you in a totally new town. I did wonder about London dates, but then figured I may have missed something, so didn’t want to ask when I first checked. Huzzah to 2012 touring!

Working on an Aberdeen date, yes, thank you! Will book tickets as soon as they go up! Thank you again, this time I’ll bring Eleven to sign!

See you in January.

I would like to think that I could come to the first Bristol one, but it is unlikely. I will see what I can do.
Posted by Robert on December 19, 2011
come to buxton again you were amazing and you may even get some more short bread
Posted by Steve on December 19, 2011
Warrington rather than Runcorn!?!?!?!?! Shame.. Pain in the arse to get to but they may well get the start time right?!?!
Posted by Richard Oxman on December 19, 2011
Mark,
Will you be playing any gigs in Newcastle or Sunderland in the next year? I was there last time you did the city hall Newcastle and had a great night.
Cheers, Richard

Dear Mark,
Will you be playing Liverpool this time around? (last time you played us we sold 52 tickets, although that was 2006 so doesn’t count!) Enjoyed the Liverpool Empire gig!
Best, Sam Freeman (unitytheatre)
