Julian Clary, the camp comedian of Terry and Julian, brings Fully Dilated, a tour that drops the stage persona, to The London Palladium for two nights.
Julian Clary, the camp comedian of Terry and Julian, brings Fully Dilated to The London Palladium in the West End on Thursday 13 and Friday 14 May 2027.
Born in Surbiton in 1959, Clary grew up in Teddington, the son of a probation officer and a police officer. He studied English and drama at Goldsmiths, University of London.
He entered the alternative comedy circuit in the early 1980s as Gillian Pieface, then as The Joan Collins Fan Club. Glam make-up, leather and his whippet, Fanny the Wonderdog, were part of the act.
His tours since include My Glittering Passage, Lord of the Mince and The Joy of Mincing. He won Celebrity Big Brother in 2012.
In Fully Dilated he sets the stage persona aside and tells the story of his life as a camp comic. He knows the house well: he plays the Fairy Godfather in its Cinderella from December 2026, beside Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders.
