IRREPRESSIBLE This Morning star Gyles Brandreth will be bringing his fast-talking repertoire to Dorset later this year.

Gyles, a regular on shows such as Pointless, QI, The One Show and more, will be at the Lighthouse in Poole on Friday, September 29, with his latest show, Can’t Stop Talking.

The one-man show hopes to work out why he has been ‘babbling since he was a baby’, leading to numerous exploits, including holding the world record for the longest-ever after-dinner speech at 12 and a half hours.

“From 40 years on Radio 4’s Just A Minute to 4 years on Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox, he can’t keep his mouth shut. He even talks in his sleep,” a spokesperson said.

“What’s it all about? He’s going to tell you – because this is his life story: a rollercoaster of tales and revelations from his unlikely life in showbusiness and politics.

“There will be surprises too – for him and you – when the audience spins a wheel to decide what he’s going to talk about next.”

The show is set to get underway at 7.30pm on September 29. For more details and to to buy tickets, call 01202 280000 or visit www.lighthousepoole.co.uk.
