October 01, 2012, 1:18 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- He found fame in the 90s with The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and hasn't toured since that decade's ‘Too Much Information' tour fifteen years ago. But David Baddiel is back with a brand new hour, entitled Fame: Not the Musical. The show will be travelling around the country throughout 2012, and includes five dates in London. Website LondonTown.com has announced deals on accommodation in the capital, with a number of London hotels offering discount rates for the duration of the show's run.
Baddiel was one of the leading lights of 90s comedy, who paired with not one but two of the best comics of his generation to form double acts, first with Robert Newman, then with Frank Skinner, with whom he was in the vanguard of lad culture. Off the back of hit show ‘Fantasy Football League', Baddiel and Skinner scored a number one hit with ‘Three Lions', which heralded the return of international football to the British Isles during Euro '96.
He combined television presenting and stand-up with a successful career as a novelist, eventually quitting stand-up altogether to concentrate on writing and raising a family with fellow comic Morwenna Banks. His latest show takes an intelligent and anecdotal look at the phenomenon of fame, deconstructing his own success and the wider cultural obsession with celebrity. His Oxbridge education and long career promises to provide a few insights into the machinations of modern celebrity.
The London dates for Fame: Not the Musical take place from 16th -20th October at the Soho Theatre. London's premier site for events and hotels, LondonTown.com, has announced a number of discounted London hotel rooms available close to the venue. The discounted rates are only available through LondonTown.com.
One of the London hotel rooms on offer is the Soho Hotel, which is currently offering an 12% discount on double rooms, bringing the cost of a night's stay down to £296. The Soho Hotel is located in Richmond Mews, literally a stones throw from the Soho Theatre. This beautiful London hotel is one of the West End 's most luxurious offerings.
A short walk along Great Russell Street is The Bloomsbury Hotel, which is offering double rooms from £135 per night, an 80% discount on the standard rate.
