Carlton Kirby's True Tales of the Tour de France
Carlton Kirby's True Tales of the Tour de France
On the eve of the 2025 Tour de France, Carlton Kirby, the Voice of Cycling, brings a night of tall tales and frank opinions from his 25 years’ covering the sport.
In a funny and revealing evening for all cycling fans, Carlton will be sharing his front-row experiences from the Tour de France and other big races – plus the lessons he’s learned from life on the road, as a bon viveur in budget hotels across Europe.
Carlton is the last in the line of the great character commentators - cycling's answer to cricket's Henry Blofeld, F1's Murray Walker or darts' Sid Waddell. He has been in the commentary box for a golden age of British cycling and the evening will also include stories of his not-always-happy dealings with British stars from Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome to Mark Cavendish and Carlton's gantry partner-in-crime Sean Kelly.
Carlton will be in conversation with former Procycling magazine writer Duncan Steer, host of 2024's sell-out show at the Barn with ITV Tour de France commentator Matt Rendell.
This is a chance to see one of TV's most entertaining commentators and raconteurs in an intimate local venue. We expect this event to sell out so do please book early to avoid disappointment.
Tickets for the show on 13th June at 7.30pm cost just £15.00 and are available from www.barntheatreoxted.co.uk
