Julian’s new ‘outrageously camp’ show will see the 59-year-old bare his soul in the interest of light entertainment.

The tour includes four dates in Norfolk and Suffolk and runs from March 13 to June 8 so there are plenty of chances to see him live.

He will be singing some songs, giving a sneak preview of his new memoir ‘A Night At the Lubricant’ and make withering remarks about punters foolish enough to sit in the front row.

Julian said, “Are you ready for some filth? I know I am. It’s been a while since I sallied forth to pleasure the provinces with my particular brand of saucy innuendo. Let me at them!

“The last tour was The Joy of Mincing. Before that was Natural Born Mincer, Lord of the Mince, Mincing Machine. You get the general idea. I just like to get ‘mincing’ in the title. I like the word.”
