HENRY NORMAL AND NIGEL PLANER ANNOUNCE BARNARD CASTLE SHOW THIS OCTOBER

● BAFTA award-winning writer and producer turned poet Henry Normal and

legendary British actor Nigel Planer are heading back on the road together

● Performing at The Witham - Barnard Castle on 28th October

BAFTA award-winning writer and producer turned poet, Henry Normal and comedy

legend Nigel Planer are heading back on the road for a national Autumn tour. They

are performing at The Witham - Barnard Castle on 28th October.

Henry and Nigel first toured together in the early 90s and reunited in 2023 when

they teamed up their latest spoken word shows to create an evening of poetry and

comedy that has been winning over audiences across the country ever since.

This Autumn tour is the first time the pair have taken on a full national tour together

bringing poetry to the people and showcasing their newest work as well as more

classic material from their impressive back catalogue.

Henry Normal’s career spans over 40 years and includes writing and producing

some of the country’s best loved and critically acclaimed TV programmes and films.

He has toured with his ever-evolving poetry show constantly since retiring from TV

and Film production. In his own distinctive style, Henry’s show finds fun in the

familiar, humour in the everyday and poignancy in the pitfalls of modern life. It is a

show about love, life and family that is as deeply moving as it is funny and often

both at the same time. Henry has 15 poetry books in print including the latest

collection “A Moonless Night’.

Nigel Planer is a critically-acclaimed British actor, writer, and musician. Best known

for his roles as Neil in the BBC 1980s comedy The Young Ones and Ralph Filthy in

Filthy Rich & Catflap, Nigel will be bringing his lesser-known but just as prolific

poetic talent to the stage. His poetry has been published in the Guardian and in

numerous anthologies, as well as the 1997 collection Unlike the Buddha. Nigel has

collected his many years of poetic endeavours into one volume called Making Other

Plans.

Nigel and Henry will compliment one another’s warm, funny, and unique words for an

unforgettable double bill that will bring poetry to the people… and plenty of laughter

too.
