Go West - We Close Our Eyes, And Other Stories An Intimate Evening With Singer Peter Cox

Go West arrived on the charts like a comet.

In his intimate show, he'll revisit the hits while looking back on featuring in Sylvester Stallone's Rocky soundtrack, scoring a double-platinum debut album, teaming up with Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley and, more recently, selling out London Palladium, as well featuring at multiple Rewind festivals.

Dom Joly is bringing his Trigger Happy TV 25th Anniversary Tour to The Plough on Saturday 14th November!

Listen out to hear Dom on the radio, on BBC regional channels, over the next two weeks!
If ever there was a TV show that captured the zeitgeist, it was Dom Joly’s Trigger Happy TV.
The post-Britpop hidden camera show brilliantly paired sketches with exceptional music,
becoming essential viewing and catapulting Joly to fame.

Unlike many sketch shows, it wasn't built around elaborate setups or punchlines - it relied
on seeing absurd behaviour dropped into ordinary public spaces and capturing real reactions.
It’s been twenty-five years since Trigger Happy TV burst onto our screens, transforming the hidden camera format with its surreal universe of characters and unforgettable pranks. Now, to celebrate a quarter-century of chaos, Dom Joly is bringing his most iconic characters and sketches to the stage in the Trigger Happy TV – Live! 25th-anniversary tour.

🎟️ £31.00
£47.00 - Premium seats and goody bag
£77.00 - Meet & Greet - pre-show Meet & Greet with photo, autograph, and goody bag and best seats
