Pasquale’s summer tour heads to local resorts

Comedian Joe Pasquale is heading out on the road again this summer with a 22 date one man show Just Joe tour. As part of Joe’s personal quest to make sure holidaymakers keep on laughing, his Summer tours have now become ‘legend’ and part of the fabric of the ‘great British Summer Holiday’. The Just Joe tour sees the man, described by comedian Jason Manford on ITV recently as “a national treasure”, doing what he does best.

Of course anyone who has ever seen comedian Joe Pasquale perform live knows full well that it is never “Just Joe”. An action man in every sense of the word, Pasquale, will be heading to theatres with a unique new stage show. Appealing to all age groups, in recent years Pasquale has developed quite a following amongst the student population who enjoy his quick wit and often zany stage antics all delivered at breathtaking pace. With a prop-packed show that includes everything bar the kitchen sink – on his 2009 UK tour, Pasquale made his entrance on a ‘motorized’ loo, audiences will be treated to a cacophony of jokes, magic that often goes ever so slightly wrong, music and even more of his signature craziness, all complemented by his latest ‘equipment’ and only Joe knows what that will be!

Since being voted King of the Jungle in 2004 Joe Pasquale’s life has not stood still – his most recent projects have seen him as Muddles in the Birmingham Hippodrome production of Sleeping Beauty and as the Scarecrow in a touring production of The Wizard of Oz.

Just Joe plays two dates at the Pavilion Theatre, Weymouth on 11 and 25 August, and appears also at the Pavilion Theatre, Bournemouth on 24 August.
