HE'S been tattoed by Indonesian islanders, eaten dogs in the Amazon and taken hallucinogens in Mexico.

After all that, facing a Southampton theatre audience should be easy for explorer Benedict Allen.

The TV star's current theatre tour brings him to the Nuffield Theatre on Sunday, October 27. As well as hearing stories about Allen's extreme exploits, the audience will have the chance to question him about his unusual life.

The show starts at 7.30pm. Tickets cost from £11. For more information, call the box office on 023 8067 1771.
