Madness frontman Suggs will come to Cumbria in April.

The performer will be at the Sands Centre in Carlisle on April 24 with Suggs: My Life Story.

The one-man show has received rave reviews so far.

The death of Suggs' beloved cat on his 50th birthday triggers a personal quest to discover what happened to the father he never knew.

Stunned by what he learns, Suggs is taken back to his childhood on the tough streets of 1970s Soho and his first appearance on Top Of The Pops at 18.

Combining elements of theatre, stand-up comedy and music hall, the show calls on audiences to hold onto their seats as Suggs stumbles and plummets through the trapdoor of failure, then trampolines back up to catch the passing trapeze of show business success.

There will be musical accompaniment and uncalled for interjection from Deano, his loyal manservant and pianist.

Suggs: My Life Story is on at 7.30pm on April 24.

Tickets are £28.50 plus a booking fee, available on 01228 633766 or online at www.thesandscentre.co.uk
