Are you Ray Bradshaw? Comic’s new show searches for Reading’s bald, beared ginger men

TICKETS have just gone on sale for comedian Ray Bradshaw’s new show, coming to Reading next year.

Doppelginger looks at that familiar line, ‘you look just like my mate’.

Ray says either someone is cloning bald men, or there is someone out there who is ginger, bearded and bald … and is doing a bad job at stalking him.

For the show, he will use the latest in genetic research – well, the internet – to solve the problem, and find out who is the person who most looks like him.

Ray Bradshaw is preparing to embark on a brand-new tour of the UK for 2024 with show ‘Doppelginger’. The tour kicks off in Southend in February and will finish in Salford, April 2024. Tickets go on sale at 10 am on Friday 1st September 2023 and are available via www.raybradshaw.com.

Described as a funny heartwarming comedy show about a silly search for a man with an orange beard who’s follicly challenged, Doppelginger follows on from Ray’s previous show, Deaf Com One which explored what it was like to grow up with deaf parents. As a result of the response to the last show, Doppelginger will have a sign language interpreter at every show.

Ray said: “I’m really excited to be going back on tour and finding lots of doppelgingers; maybe even doing a gig to a room full of them in what must be the best-looking audience ever”

So, if you have a bald, ginger bearded friend in their 30s, why not book them a ticket? They might be the ultimate Ray Bradshaw lookalike.

The show will be at Norden Farm on Saturday, March 23, and at South Street on Thursday, April 11.
