JIM Davidson is returning to Evesham with a new show after attempts to ban him from performing earlier this year failed.

Evesham Town Council was set to debate whether he should be allowed to perform due to his perceived racist and sexist material before a show in March.

The move hit the headlines and  the council did not go ahead with debating whether to cancel the comedian from performing in the town.   

Now, the controversial comic is returning with a new show called 'Not Yet Cancelled' next year.

Fans can watch Davidson at Evesham Town Hall on Sunday, February 19 in two shows at 5pm or 8pm.

The comedian has already warned fans he is preparing for an outrageous show with rip-roaring grown-up comedy.

The advert for the upcoming show read: "Despite attempts by the woke minority to cancel one of Britain’s greatest comedians, Jim Davidson OBE continues to play to capacity audiences year after year.

"The silenced majority continue to show their support for master funny man, demonstrating that the battle of freedom of speech has not yet been lost!

"In this brand-new show for 2023, Jim invites you to join him for another evening of rip-roaring grown-up comedy and join the struggle against the few who try to divide us and impose their radical sensibilities on our culture!"

Davidson, who was the winner of 2014's Celebrity Big Brother, performed two shows at the town council in March as part of his 'Unlocked' tour, with hundreds of tickets being sold by event organisers Evesham Live. 

Tickets cost £25 and fans are being urged to book online.
