WRITER and broadcaster Stuart Maconie will take a Leeds audience on a nocturnal trip through Britain on Friday, July 1.

He will be at the Carriageworks Theatre to use his best-selling books as a guide.

Stuart has plotted a route that takes in high art to low culture, family holidays to fell-walking, music, sport, politics, crown green bowling and zombie apocalypses.

He always keeps in mind his motto all things in moderation… including moderation!

Stuart Maconie is a radio presenter, writer, journalist and critic.

Having presented shows on BBC Radio 1, 2, 3 and 4, he now co-hosts afternoon slot Radcliffe & Maconie and presents his own Sunday night programme, Freak Zone, on BBC 6 Music.

Stuart is also the UK's best-selling travel writer of non-TV tie-in books.

Previous bestsellers have included Cider With Roadies, Pies And Prejudice and Adventures On The High Teas.

Maconie held an assistant editor post at NME Magazine and his articles have been printed in The Times, The Guardian and The Evening Standard along with popular music publications Q, Mojo, and Select.

Based in the cities of Birmingham and Manchester, Stuart can also often be spotted on top of a mountain in the Lake District with a Thermos flask and individual pork pie.

Luisa Omielan, the underground comedian from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, is taking her new memoir on the road in the show What Would The answer Do?.

The book, described as hilariously funny, wonderfully uplifting and brutally honest, says its mantra has changed a life forever.

She will present a stories at the Carriageworks Theatre on July 19.
