- Paul Whitehouse and Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing consultant John Bailey are staging theatre shows
- How We Fish is described as a live show that "celebrates the rich tapestry that is fishing - from mentors to memories"
- "The perfect way to spend an autumn evening in the theatre - warm, funny, and rich in the wonders of the riverbank"
Paul Whitehouse and Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing consultant John Bailey are to appear in a series of live shows titled How We Fish.
The show's promoters explain: "Paul Whitehouse and Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing consultant John Bailey have been devout fishermen for longer than they care to remember. A hobby, pastime, or sport - call it what you want - they have felt the pull of the water ever since they were kids and have never missed the chance to set up on the bank and try their luck.
"Now the two fishermen are going on tour to mark the publication of their new book How We Fish - The Love, Life, and Joy of the Riverbank. Beginning on 1 November at Southampton's O2 Guildhall, the duo will then travel the country visiting Cambridge, Liverpool, Guildford, Basingstoke, Leeds, Birmingham, and London. Each ticket to the tour includes a copy of the book.
"Join Paul and John as they come together on stage to celebrate the rich tapestry that is fishing - from mentors to memories; from philosophy to modern jargon; from watercraft to becoming self-styled 'Fishing Detectives'. Punctuated by brilliant stories and recollections from fishing day trips past, How We Fish is the perfect way to spend an autumn evening in the theatre - warm, funny, and rich in the wonders of the riverbank."
Tickets will be on sale from Friday at 10am at howwefish.live
