FAT’S all folks. After 40 years of touring, Roy Chubby Brown is hanging up his flying helmet for the final time at the age of 70.

More accurately, Brown accompanied last month’s release of Roy Chubby Brown Hangs Up His Helmet Live by announcing his 25th DVD would be his last, but the veteran North Eastern comic is still touring in “his meatiest show yet”.

Rude, crude, blue and sarcastic, the bantering Brown will be mouthing off his outlandish views on news, women and gender at York Barbican tonight in his Don’t Get Fit Get Fat show.

“If easily offended, please stay away,” advises Britain’s bluest comedian, whose age limit is 18 plus. Tickets for the 7.30pm show are still available on 08448 542 757, at yorkbarbican.co.uk or in person from the Barbican box office.
