JULIAN Clary, national trinket, author, TV and radio star is coming to Basingstoke in 2016.

The Joy of Mincing, which calls in at The Anvil on April 21 at 8pm, is his celebration of 30 years as a camp comedian.

There is so much to tell you; the ups and downs of his love life, the true and heart stopping account of how he saved Dame Joan Collins’ life, and don’t start him on the perils of his DIY electrical home enema kit.

Remaining one of the country's best loved entertainers, Julian's popularity has endured across a three decade career in show business.

With a variety of credits to his name, Julian is not only a comedian but a presenter, author and established pantomime star.

His colourful career has seen him win Celebrity Big Brother in 2012, become a Sunday Times best-selling novelist, complete countless smash-hit tours and more recently he added children’s author to his long list of credits, publishing The Bolds.

This show is recommended for those aged 16 and over.
