Stand-up show by Julian Clary, 'Fully Dilated', at the New Theatre Royal in Lincoln.
Julian Clary is coming to the New Theatre Royal on Saturday 17 April 2027, with his new show Fully Dilated. It's a solo stand-up set, so it's just him on stage for the full run — no opening act to work through first, just Clary from the start.
If you've seen him before, you know the territory he works in. He's built his whole thing around a very particular kind of persona: the posh, slightly detached, impeccably dressed man who delivers the most outrageous lines with a perfectly calm face. The comedy comes from that gap between how he presents himself and what he's actually saying, and Fully Dilated keeps that front and centre. It's the same double-act he's always run, just him playing two different versions of himself at once.
The show is playing at the New Theatre Royal on Clasketgate, right in the heart of the city. It's a proper theatre night out, and since it's a Saturday, it's an easy one to build a whole evening around. If you're coming from outside the centre, it's a short walk from the station, and there's plenty of places nearby for a drink or a bite to eat before you head in.
