Tickets for former BBC star John Barrowman's new tour, 'Laid Bare', are being offered for free due to disappointing ticket sales. The tour, which features songs and stories from Barrowman's life, was intended to mark a comeback for the actor after he was dropped from his role as a judge on 'Dancing on Ice' in 2021 following accusations of inappropriate on-set behavior. Barrowman has maintained that his actions were misinterpreted and that he was engaging in lighthearted 'tomfoolery' on set.
Tickets for disgraced BBC star John Barrowman 's new tour are being given away for free amid sluggish sales. The former Strictly and I'm a Celeb contestant has a new tour called Laid Bare featuring songs and stories from his life. The actor's career took a major hit after he was accused of flashing on the set of a BBC show.
First says it is only charging its 'Access Fee', which covers 'our reasonable costs of providing access to the tickets and administering the booking website', but nothing extra for the ticket price. The theatre's own direct site shows ticket prices should be £42, £37 or £32, before the extra charges are applied. This week its seat map showed whole rows of seats still available - with only 18 out of 310 sold in the cheapest £32 tiered stalls. Less than half the £37 stalls tickets were sold - with in total only just over 300 seats of the near 1,000 capacity theatre reserved. Barrowman hoped his tour, which is in the middle of a two-month break, would herald a comeback almost two years after he was dropped from his role as a judge on Dancing on Ice following the allegations against him. After the accusations came to a head in 2021, he issued a statement saying: 'With the benefit of hindsight I understand that upset may have been caused by my exuberant behaviour and I have apologised for this previously.' Horror moment bungling magician stabs TV host with NAIL in viral resurfaced clip Ahead of the tour, Barrowman claimed recently that '99% of the things that were said about me were bulls***' He said: 'If I was naked on set it's because it was written into a script, and if I was wiggling it or being stupid it was to make myself feel comfortable because I'm standing there stark b****** naked.' He said of the new tour Laid Bare: 'That's why I've decided to talk about it and lay it bare on stage because it's quite disgusting how people have treated me. 'You're going to be entertained, going to learn things about me you might not expect me to talk about.' There is a question and answer session with the audience and they can ask anything they want to ask.' In 2021 the Scots star faced accusations about his behaviour behind the scenes of Doctor Who after a video emerged of co-star Noel Clarke making jokes about it. Eyewitnesses described the incidents as inappropriate pranks rather than sexual predatory behaviour. Barrowman, who played the character of Capt Jack Harkness in Doctor Who, said he did engage in “tomfoolery” while working on the fantasy series and its spin-off Torchwood. The actor said that his “high-spirited behaviour” was “only ever intended in good humour to entertain colleagues on set and backstage”.: “With the benefit of hindsight, I understand that upset may have been caused by my exuberant behaviour and I have apologised for this previously.
