AN award-winning comic will be coming to Wales next year.
Ray Bradshaw will be bringing his show Doppleginger across the UK, including a stop in Cardiff.
Ray’s inspiration for the show is the fact he is regularly told that he looks just like their mate, which he’s worried about, questioning whether someone is cloning generic bald men or there’s a ginger bearded bald man out there doing a bad job of stalking him.
In the show, he uses the latest in genetic research – aka the internet - to try and put an end to it once and for all, to find a person who looks most like him.
Doppleginger has been described as a funny, heartwarming comedy about a silly search for a man with an orange beard who’s follicly challenged and anyone with a friend who is bald and has a ginger beard and is in their 30s, should bring them along as they could be the one.
Ray said: “I’m really excited to be going back on tour and finding lots of doppelgingers; maybe even doing a gig to a room full of them in what must be the best-looking audience ever.”
Every show on the Doppleginger tour will have a BSL interpreter, which is inspired by Ray’s last show – Deaf Com One – which was about growing up with deaf parents.
Deaf Com One sold out theatres all over the world, including its run at the Edinburgh Fringe and it won the Innovation Award at the Adelaide Fringe 2018. He also made history with the play being named as the first comedy show performed in both sign language and English by the performer.
He spent 2021 and 2022 on the road as John Bishop’s support act and toured with Frankie Boyle in 2019.
Ray Bradshaw will be in Cardiff’s The Glee Club on Wednesday, February 28. Tickets are available at www.raybradshaw.com
