LEISURE: America’s Got Talent winner back at the Octagon

THE America’s Got Talent 2015 winner, British ventriloquist and comedian Paul Zerdin, will be returning to the Octagon Theatre in Yeovil later this year with his new show.

The show at the Octagon on Saturday, November 11, 2017, is part of a 45-date tour of All Mouth – with tickets going on sale this Friday (March 3, 2017) via Ticketmaster.

Kicking off in September, this brand new tour will see Zerdin’s critically lauded act grace venues across the UK, finishing up with a three-night residency at London’s Leicester Square Theatre, from 24th-26th November.

Book now and secure your seat to see Paul Zerdin’s hilarious, award-winning and redefining comedy and puppetry work at a theatre near you this autumn. Aided and abetted by his band of sharp-tongued sidekicks, the precocious Baby, cantankerous OAP Albert, cheeky pre-teen Sam, and this time two BRAND NEW characters!

2016 was an extremely busy year for the acclaimed performer Zerdin, on both sides of the Atlantic.

Following a spring UK and US tour, 2016 also saw Zerdin head to The Las Vegas Strip for a headline residency at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

When asked about his thoughts on returning to the UK for an autumn 2017 tour, Zerdin beamed: “2016 was such an exciting year for me and the boys – performing in Las Vegas and at venues like the London Palladium really is every entertainer’s dream. I cannot wait to get back to UK theatres later this year with Albert, Sam and Baby, who are set to be grumpier, bolder and more boisterous than ever. Hope to see you there!”

Zerdin is arguably the UK’s number one ventriloquist and made his TV debut in 1993 as the host of GMTV’s ‘Rise and Shine’. He then went on to win ITV’s The Big Big Talent Show, hosted by Jonathan Ross.

Since then he has appeared on countless TV shows including The World Stands Up (Comedy Central), The Stand Up Show BBC!, Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford (ITV1), Tonight at The London Palladium (ITV1), Michael McIntyre’s Big Christmas Show (BBC1) and three appearances at The Royal Variety Performance.

Zerdin has appeared at the Octagon on a couple of occasions in the past on previous tours, but winning Series 10 of America’s Got Talent in September 2015, Zerdin and his sidekicks soon went viral on YouTube, receiving millions of views from around the world.

Tickets for All Mouth will be on sale from 10am on Friday (March 3, 2017) - available at venue box offices and through Ticketmaster. For a full list of tour dates please check www.paulzerdin.com.
