Five-date theatre tour gives fans chance to get up close and personal with TV’s Henry Cole. Henry Cole fans will be able to get up close and personal with the man himself, as the effervescent presenter of Shed and Buried and The Motorbike Show embarks on his first ever theatre tour in 2024. ‘An Evening With Henry Cole’ takes place at five intimate theatre venues throughout April and May, and will take fans on a deep dive through Henry’s fascinating life and career. Henry’s old mucker and former racing supremo Steve “Stavros” Parrish, will be hosting each of the shows. Steve will guide Henry through his incredibly varied life, covering his battles with addiction in his late teens/early twenties; his 32 years in the TV and movie industry as a director, working in both film and advertising; the founding of HCA Entertainment - Henry’s TV Production company - and the journey into presenting. There will of course also be plenty of chat around his lifelong passion for motorcycles and the tinkering and restoring of vintage machinery. Plus a good smattering of fishing, tractors, cycling and most importantly his wife Janie, two sons Charlie and Tom, and his dog Jelly Bean. If that’s not enough, host Steve Parrish - former British Motorcycling champion, teammate to Barry Sheene and ex-MotoGP commentator - will doubtless pull out a few anecdotes along the way too. 'An Evening With Henry Cole' dates and venues are as follows: - 14th April 2024 - Princess Theatre, Hunstanton - 20th April 2024 - Capitol, Horsham - 30 April 2024 - Epsom Playhouse - 15 May 2024 - Stafford Gatehouse - 24th May 2024 - EMC, Harpenden Ticket prices are set by the venue, but typically start at around £30. Contact the venue directly for tickets and further details.

Henry Cole and friends return with a new series of Shed & Buried from 16th October Henry will be joined by fellow fanatic Fuzz Townshend, with top restorers Allen Millyard and Guy Willison, on the hunt for vintage treasures in the nation's sheds. They're going to buy them, fix them up, then sell them for a tidy profit. That's the plan and fans will be able to follow the team's progress in ten brand new 30-minute episodes, as they wrestle with neglected motorcycles, cars, trucks, tractors, petrol pumps and more, in an effort to bring them back to life.

Motorbike-mad Henry will be haggling, while Fuzz uses his automotive expertise to spot hidden gems on four wheels. Back in the shed, Guy's talent for restoration will be needed to transform rusty iron into 'gold' while Allen's engineering genius will be put to the test, making machines run for the first time in decades. Tune in to Quest (Freeview channel number 12) from week commencing 16th October to view the new series.

Shed & Buried is also available to stream on the discovery+ website at www.discoveryplus.co.uk. For more news on Henry Cole and other tv related new check out our dedicated TV News page For more information on all programmes produced by Henry Cole visit henrycole.tv
