Dear I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue Mailing List Member,

Here are details of the first recording in the Summer 2018 series of “I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue”:

The recording will take place as follows:

Saturday 26 May 2018 at the Leeds City Varieties Music Hall. This will be a double recording of the show (i.e. 2 programmes will be recorded) for broadcast on BBC Radio 4.

Tickets will be priced at £6.00 (this price includes the theatre’s levy and booking fee)  and are obtainable from 10am on Thursday 10th  May  for theatre members and mailing list subscribers. To access earlybird tickets please use the code CLUE2018 or quote it for telephone bookings. Tickets will go on general sale on Friday 11th May. Tickets are available to purchase in person via the theatre’s Box Office, by telephone on 0113 243 0808, or online via the theatre’s website at
www.cityvarieties.co.uk

For those wishing to purchase tickets in person, the address is: City Varieties Music Hall, Swan Street, Leeds LS1 6LW. The Box Office opening times are Monday to Saturday from 10am-6pm, and 10am – 4pm on Saturdays.

The recording starts at 7.30pm and will be finished around 10.30pm. Tickets will be limited to a strict maximum of 4 per applicant, by whatever booking system. Demand for tickets is very great, so you are advised to purchase early to avoid disappointment; you should also allow for queue waiting times for the Box Office, either by phone or in person, to be longer than usual.

The 69th series will begin transmission on Radio 4 from Monday 25th June at 6.30pm
