Comedy legend and national trinket Julian Clary is making a highly-anticipated return to theatres across the UK from Wednesday 7th April – Saturday 5th June 2027, with a 40-date tour of his brand-new hour ‘Fully Dilated’.
The tour follows on from a triumphant and critically-acclaimed debut run of ten performances at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the renowned homosexual’s first performances at the festival in 17 years.
Clary said: “Are you ready for some filth? Good.
I’m going to be talking about things on this tour that would get me flogged in Dubai. And pointed at in Peckham.
I have decided to open up to the public and reveal all. No more hiding behind a stage persona – I’m going to be myself. The question is will you be able to tell the difference? In this show I will reveal intimate secrets of my life and share the traumas that have led me to lead the life of a camp comic and renowned homosexual.”
Tickets for Clary’s new tour, including two performances at the London Palladium (13th & 14th May 2027) on general sale from 10am on Thursday 1st October 2026.
Tickets available at julianclary.co.uk. Full breakdown of listings information and performance dates below.
