Dirty Sanchez boys announce O2 Academy Bristol show as part of 2018 15th Anniversary tour

Posted on: 17 Jan 2018

Mathew Pritchard and Lee Dainton of the wildly popular MTV show Dirty Sanchez will be hitting Bristol on Wednesday 11th April for a special live show at the O2 Academy, featuring never-before-seen footage, a history of the show from 2003 to now, and a chance for audience members to meet the Sanchez stars and ask them anything. Tickets for the show go on sale at 9am on Friday 17th January and can be found here.

MTV's Dirty Sanchez was at its peak in 2006 with the release of the Dirty Sanchez Movie.

Started in 2003, Dirty Sanchez quickly found popularity in the UK thanks to crazy stunts performed by the four man line-up. Starring Mathew Pritchard, Lee Dainton, Michael Locke and Dan Joyce, what started out as a series of amateur videos among long-time friends was soon picked up by Channel 4 to feature in their Balls of Steel series. From there, the boys were picked up by MTV and given their own show - Britain's answer to Jackass, Dirty Sanchez.

 

The show quickly gained a huge cult following in the UK as well as winning fans further afield in America and Australia, and their success eventually scored them a feature-length film in 2006. Dirty Sanchez: The Movie was filmed over the course of just five weeks, taking the guys around the world to illustrate the Seven Deadly Sins through wince-inducing pranks and stunts. The film also featured a cameo appearance from infamous Welsh drug-smuggler Howard Marks.

 

The 2018 live shows present Dirty Sanchez fans with the opportunity to ask stars Mathew Pritchard and Lee Dainton anything they like, as well as the chance to meet the pair and hang out after the show. With tickets starting at just £8.40 (incl. booking fee), don't miss the chance to see never-before-seen footage from your favourite Welsh extreme stunt show!

 

Tickets for 15 Years of Dirty Sanchez Live are on sale from 9am Friday 17th January and can be found here. For more information and to follow ticket updates, visit the O2 Academy Bristol website or follow the event's Facebook page.
