CURMUDGEONLY comedian Sean Lock will be driving his Purple Van Man tour to Poole this summer. The 49-year-old Woking comic will arrive on July 26 at the Lighthouse Poole, with tickets on sale now.

“We all know what White Van Man thinks about the world we live in but it’s time to hear a different voice, purple van man’s voice,” says Sean, who will deliver gags, opinions, deft observations and some silly voices as he crosses the country in his purple van.

“I will make you laugh like a drunken horse,” promises the British Comedy Award winner, who has been a team captain for 14 series of Channel 4’s topical panel game show 8 Out Of 10 Cats, as well as appearing on BBC2’s Never Mind The Buzzcocks, QI and Mock The Week.

He last performed at Poole in 2010, when his Lockipedia show visited the Lighthouse that year.
