Spikey's sold out

Home town boon for Phoenix Nights star

Phoenix Nights star Dave Spikey has sold out a gig in less than 90 minutes.

Tickets for the Bolton date of his 2003 tour were snapped up as soon as they went on sale.

He told Chortle: "It's very pleasing. I hoped it would sell out because it' my home town, but it still gave me a lift."

Spikey, who was this week nominated in the Best Newcomer category of the British Comedy Awards, has also added another eight dates to the Overnight Success tour - wryly named because of his ten years on the circuit before Peter Kay's comedy gave him recognised.
