GEOFFREY BOYCOTT and Jonathan Agnew will be coming to York Barbican in September for an evening of stories, banter and quick wit.
To celebrate the 2013 Ashes clashes, two of Britain’s most popular cricket commentators performed on stage for the first time at major venues in each of the host cities of the England v Australia test matches.
Playing to packed houses in London, Nottingham, Manchester and Newcastle, the original odd couple amazed and enthralled both devotees of the game and non-cricket lovers alike with their hilarious stories and quick-fire wit.
Fresh from their commentary duties on England’s recent tour down under, Boycott and Agnew returned for four more shows in January, which were even more successful than their summer outings.
On Thursday, September 25 they will be appearing at York Barbican.
Again, the pair will debate hot topics such as England rebuilding their team, management and shattered confidence and “Boycs” will give his no-nonsense views on cricket and life in general. The audience can tweet “Aggers” live with their own questions and the shows will, as ever, be fun, fiery and full of surprise.
The events are being run in association with the Professional Cricketers’ Association and will be raising funds for the organisation’s benevolent fund.
