Leicester's Curve Theatre is hosting Fringe star Clive Anderson this month as he performs his first one-man show.

Clive brings his solo show Me, Macbeth and I to venues across the UK this spring after a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019.

He is a frequent performer on chat shows, radio and TV programmes, with ten series of Clive Anderson Talks Back on Channel 4 and four series of Clive Anderson All Talk on BBC 1 under his belt.

An award-winning and versatile broadcaster and comedy writer, Clive began his success during his 15-year legal career with stand-up comedy and scriptwriting.

He rose to fame hosting Whose Line Is It Anyway? on radio and television before winning the 1991 British Comedy Award.

Clive has made guest appearances on shows such as Have I Got News For You, QI, Mock the Week, Countdown and Fighting Talk.

And he has fronted other programmes covering current affairs, sport, science, history, music, art and literature, including Mystic Britain on the Smithsonian Channel.

He currently presents Loose Ends and Unreliable Evidence (both BBC Radio 4).

Clive has hosted many live events and award ceremonies for BAFTA, London Evening Standard, Chortle and the Olivier Awards in London and overseas.

Clive hosted Whose Line Is It Anyway?'s official live worldwide premiere at the Adelphi Theatre in London in 2015.

Due to popular demand, the sold-out show returned to London Palladium for a limited run in 2016 and again to Royal Albert Hall in December 2018 to celebrate its 30th birthday with an exclusive run of three live shows.  

This year, he is presenting the latest Edinburgh version of Whose Line? at the McEwan Hall.
