'National trinket' Julian Clary is saddling up to head out on the road once more with his western themed stand-up show A Fistful of Clary.

The latest 2025 tour, which includes a date at Mayflower Studios on Thursday May 29, follows his acclaimed sell-out 46 date tour in 2024.

The revered comic and Taskmaster star will play 29 new shows across the UK this spring and he told us all about his plans to yee-haw onto stage in Southampton.

Julilan told the Daily Echo: "I love touring, it is a very lovely, creative process. Every night is different. I look forward to seeing how things evolve: a tiny spontaneous idea one-night can become a twenty-minute routine after a few shows. That sort of thing can only happen on stage – no amount of thinking in the comfort of your own home can bring it about. 

"Placing myself in the macho world of the Western seemed like a jolly wheeze. All those un-washed cowboys, spitting and swearing. Not to mention the clothes. There are rich pickings for a camp comic to plunder!

"I’ll be creating a new Western drama called The Magnificent Seven Inches. For that I’ll need a posse. Sadly I don’t have one with me so I shall have to rely on the kindness of unsuspecting punters and I seem to have a psychic ability to pick the right people 99 per cent of the time. I need to look them in the eye and then I know. Heterosexual men are best fodder for my purposes. They are, after all, responsible for most of the troubles in this world and I see it as my duty to make them pay!"

Described as a 'tsunami of smut', the Wild West themed show is already a complete sell out. 

Julian Clary is a comedian, entertainer and novelist, who has toured across the world with his one-man shows.

Having started working on the cabaret circuit as The Joan Collins Fan Club, he went on to become a household name in the late 1980s and remains one of the country’s most popular entertainers.
