Jon Richardson: The Knitwit
Wednesday 1 Feb, 2023 | 18:30 - 14+
This show has been rearranged from 17th Dec 2020 and then 22 Oct 2021. All ticket holders will be contacted by your ticketing supplier, however all original tickets remain valid for this new date.
The original statement from Jon is as follows...
I’m very sorry to say that the
Knitwit tour is going to be delayed by another year and will now start in
September 2022.
The delayed reopening of clubs
means quite simply that even were I to return to gigging immediately I couldn’t
guarantee being ready to perform to the standard I expect when shows were due
to begin in September and I don’t want to let down anyone who has paid for a
ticket, especially when times are so hard.
I am sorry for all those of you
who were looking forward to coming along at the end of this year and I
apologise also to the theatres and their staff who are depending on a return to
normality to keep their doors open. I feel a great responsibility to you all
and have had to make what I believe to be the best choice from two bad options.
I recognise that for many of you
this will be three years after you first bought tickets and I can only imagine
how circumstances might have changed for you all in the meantime. As before you
will contacted by your local theatre and offered a rescheduled date or a refund
for your tickets. Please wait for the venue to
contact you with the new date as they are working very hard to get shows
rearranged.
I apologise for a formal and
sombre tone. I am in no doubt that not getting to hear my whining voice will
not be the worst thing that happens to anyone this year, but still I am gutted
not to be heading out on the road as promised. I hope to see you all next year
with a show that will be worthy of your patience and loyalty.
Will the recycling be put out on the right day? Who is going to smooth over the top of the margarine? How many lights are on upstairs when everybody is downstairs?
Watch Jon pretend that these aren't his foremost concerns as he leaves home on his first tour since the last one.
