Henry Cole fans have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the man himself as the effervescent presenter of Shed and Buried and The Motorbike Show embarks on his first-ever theatre tour.
An Evening with Henry Cole will take place at five venues throughout April and May and will take fans on “a deep dive into Cole’s fascinating life and career”.
Cole’s old mucker and former racing supremo, Steve “Stavros” Parrish, will host each show, guiding Cole through his incredibly varied life, covering his battles with addiction in his late teens/early twenties; his 32 years in the TV and movie industry as a director, working in both film and advertising; the founding of HCA Entertainment – Henry’s TV Production company; and his journey into presenting.
There will also be plenty of chat about his lifelong passion for motorcycles and the tinkering and restoring of vintage machinery. Plus, a smattering of fishing, tractors, cycling, and most importantly, his wife Janie, two sons Charlie and Tom, and his dog Jelly Bean!
Parrish – former British motorcycling champion, teammate to Barry Sheene, and ex-MotoGP commentator – will doubtlessly pull out a few anecdotes along the way.

- 14 April – Princess Theatre, Hunstanton
- 20 April – The Capitol, Horsham

- 15 May – Stafford Gatehouse
- 24 May – The Eric Morecambe Centre, Harpenden
