Imagine the most fun you could have in a theatre with three iconic sporting experts. Introduce excellent TV host Nick Hancock (They Think It’s All Over, Room 101) add two sporting legends, Phil Tufnell and Matt Dawson and you have a match made in heaven. A Lock In With Tuffers and Dawson is a new live theatre show that takes place in a working bar. And it’s coming to the New Theatre Oxford on Wednesday, September 12.
Well known for their chatty amusing banter on the BBC’s popular TV show A Question of Sport, Tuffers and Daws go head to head live on stage with Nick at the helm. Host Nick Hancock attempts to keep control of the duo as they try to outdo each other with games, big screen action and hilarious stories. He will help us get to know the boys a bit better, enticing them to draw out some hilarious stories about each other and lift the lid on their hugely successful sporting careers, their larger than life teammates and opponents - on and off the field.
This is guaranteed to be a wonderful evening for sports fans and non-enthusiasts alike.
Producer Simon Fielder, of Simon Fielder Productions, said: “I have worked with Tuffers on our successful Evenings With Aggers shows and it just made sense to bring him and Matt together on stage. So I’m delighted to welcome world cup hero and Lions legend Matt Dawson on board as well as the brilliant, quick-witted Nick Hancock.
“I used to regularly tune in to They Think It’s All Over and loved Nick’s ability to deal with some pretty big personalities, from the likes of Jonathan Ross, Gary Lineker, David Gower to Lee Hurst, among many others. Nick is the perfect foil for Tuffers and Daws and I’m really looking forward to seeing them all on stage.”
