Britain’s “lewdest, crudest and boldest” comedian, Roy “Chubby” Brown, is set to bring his 40th anniversary stand-up show to Buckinghamshire after adding a series of dates to the nationwide tour.

A firm advocate of no-holds-barred comedy, Chubby Brown remains one of the UK’s most iconic, boundary-pushing comedians, claiming to test the taboo and flirting with the forbidden.

To mark the success of his latest tour, the 71-year-old has added a series of new venues, including a stop at The Elgiva Theatre in Chesham on March 23.

Best known for his risqué humour and patchwork clown suit, the Yorkshire-born comedian is renowned for his old-school cheekiness and irreverent observations.

Beloved by fans for his tireless touring and energetic live shows, Chubby Brown has made over 1,000 live appearances and performed in front of 1.5 million fans in a stand-up career spanning over 40 years.

Since his first solo performance over four decades ago, Roy Chubby Brown has remained one of the nation’s most recognisable comedians.

Equipped with his trademark flying helmet, pilot goggles and vivid tailoring, Roy Chubby Brown never ceases to provide an evening as animated as his appearance.

Every aspect of the self-confessed “old school comic” exudes tradition; from his clownish appearance, to his music-hall singing and dancing routines.

Roy Chubby Brown began performing his own stand-up in Stoke-on-Trent in 1976, where his talents were identified by comedy veteran, Bernard Manning.

In celebration of the four decades since his solo comedy debut, Roy Chubby Brown will be celebrating growing old disgracefully with a 27-date national tour.
