Celebrity chef James Martin will be celebrating a major landmark in 2025 when he heads out on the road with his all-new LIVE tour.

James’ fifth tour will include his 100th live show and comes after four sold out tours which have seen him cooking on some of the most famous stages in the country.

In 2025, James Martin Live will see the popular TV chef and best-selling author visit 20 amazing venues across England, Scotland and Wales, combining the perfect ingredients of mouth-watering dishes with his warm Yorkshire wit.

The tour comes to Llandudno's Venue Cymru on 27 February.

So how did James get to show 100?

“I’d been doing live demos at food festivals for years, and was at the Good Food Show one year, when someone from Live Nation had been dragged along by their wife,” he explained.

“I was always fortunate at events, my demos would be really popular and have full crowds and this guy couldn’t believe this half-hour stage show with food. He came up to me at the end and said you should take it on the road… And the rest is history.

“It’s amazing to think this is my fifth tour – and we’ll mark the 100th live show while we’re out on this tour… What a landmark!

“It’s funny, I remember, looking back, the incredible Keith Floyd said, ‘One day chefs will be rock and roll’ – and here we are.”

And in James Martin’s case, that’s truer than for most as he combines the live cookery show with his love of music.

“There have been a few chefs who have done tours, and even Ready Steady Cook did it 25 years ago, they haven’t all worked but it seems like something has clicked with my shows and that’s amazing,” he said.

“We spend a lot of time in the pre-production phase, thinking about and planning what we are going to do. I have the same producer as the Strictly Come Dancing live tours, and we have a brilliant team on board from Live Nation and Cuffe and Taylor.

“People ask what do the shows involve… It’s food, comedy, music and a great, great night out. And for four tours now, people seem to like it.

“Bringing that all together seems to be the secret recipe for success.”
