TOMORROW: Last tickets left for Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club
Posted on: 16 Dec 2022Calling all Bristolian funk and soul fans. Tomorrow night sees the much-loved radio DJ, actor and television presenter visit Bristol for a real festive shake-up.
Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club is coming to O2 Academy Bristol on Saturday 17 December.
BBC 6 Music's top dog Craig Charles is back in the South West yet again with his unmissable festive special, celebrating the most wonderful time of the year with a heavy dose of funk and soul.
Tickets are priced at £22.50 and can be found on the O2 Academy website.
Best known for roles in television shows like Red Dwarf and Coronation Street as well as being a prominent TV host, in 2021 Charles took over Sean Keaveny's prime-time BBC Radio 6 slot in addition to long-standing and much-loved Saturday evening funk and soul show.
After beginning a show business career as a politically charged performance poet before turning to comedy with the Red Wedge comedy tour in 1986, Charles originally stamped his mark on British performing spoken word poetry and stand-up comedy.
The now 58-year-old soon burst onto TV screens with the cheeky Liverpudlian soon winning the hearts of the British public as lager-loving Dave in the beloved Red Dwarf series.
In addition to prestigious acting roles in Red Dwarf and Coronation Street, Charles has been a presenter on a number of much-loved shows over the years, from cult hit Robot Wars to Channel 5’s The Gadget Show.
Charles' Funk and Soul show on BBC 6 Music has been a firm favourite with music fans for some time, with the set becoming a fully-fledged regular club night. The success of the show has also led to Charles claiming the headline prime-time spot on the radio station.
Thanks to this success, Charles has garnered a reputation as an experienced disc jockey with an unrivalled knowledge of funk, soul and disco. An enthusiastic music lover, he is most at home when commanding a massive crowd – something he’ll be doing tomorrow night!
