Fashion Guru Gok Wan Will Bare All This Autumn at Epstein Theatre
By: BWW News Desk Mar. 22, 2017
With 18 theatre dates around the UK, Gok Wan Naked & Baring All marks the first time the multi-talented fashion guru, TV presenter, author, programme maker and panto star, Gok Wan, has taken to the stage to 'bare all' about his own life.
Gok Wan Naked & Baring All is co-written and directed by Owen Lewis (Grumpy Old Women Fifty Shades of Beige, Suggs My Life Story, Pete and Dud Come Again, The Only Way is Downton).
Frequently referenced as "the man I'd be most likely to leave my husband for" since bursting onto our TV screens in 2006, Gok's career has gone from strength to strength. With regular slots on ITV's This Morning, 2016 saw him star in Fearne and Gok - Off The Rails for ITVBe, Gok's Lunchbox on ITV, Gok's Fashion Fix on Channel 4 with a follow-on series Gok's Clothes Roadshow; Get the Look For Less.
We've seen him cooking on Gok Cooks Chinese, travelling to China in search of his ancestral roots in Made In China where he explored what it means to be an Anglo Asian; film a moving documentary on child obesity Too Fat Too Young and exploring the modern-day issues teenagers face including sexuality, online bullying and eating disorders in the three-part series Gok's Teens: The Naked Truth. His most recent venture has been the release of Gok's Divas, on Warner Classics featuring 30 classic numbers from the world of opera and musical theatre.
But whatever you think you know about Gok Wan, you haven't heard the half of it. From his humble beginnings on a Leicester council estate, to becoming one of the country's most recognised faces, Gok Wan Naked & Baring All will see Gok candidly unravel his life to reveal everything he has not yet dared to bare.
No collar is left unturned in what might be the most honest, campest and naked stage show ever to mince the boards!
Theatre manager, Rebekah Pichilingi, said: "Gok has had the nation hooked on his television shows ever since he burst onto our screens over a decade ago. We can't wait to welcome him to The Epstein Theatre for what is sure to be the perfect night out - a show of thrills and spills!
So book your tickets now for this funny and candid show - to miss it would be un'bare'able!

The Epstein Theatre (formerly known as The Neptune) was originally opened as Crane's Music Hall in 1911, and was a popular location for recitals and performances. It was renamed Crane Theatre in 1938. In 1967 the theatre was purchased from the Cranes by Liverpool Corporation, who decided that the theatre should be run by local people for local people and was named The Neptune Theatre. The Neptune also became a Comedy Club and after many years of uncertainty about the future of the theatre, it eventually closed in 2005. In July 2011, a £1million refurbishment of the theatre was completed which saw the Hanover Street venue brought up to 21st century standards and renamed 'The Epstein Theatre' in honour of former Beatles manager Brian Epstein, who guided the Fab Four from popular cellar act to global superstardom. The management contract was up for tender and was won by the well-established team behind Liverpool's annual Sound City Music Festival. The Theatre was officially opened on Wed 9th May 2012. Now an independent company Epstein Theatre Ltd, the venue has grown to become of the key venues for arts and live entertainment in the city with a strong programme of comedy, plays, live music and children's productions. The venue can also be hired out for private functions, weddings and conferences.
