US show Storage Hunters lines up Crawley date

Storage Hunters, the reality TV series from the US that has picked up a dedicated UK cult following since being broadcast on Dave, is now coming to the stage for a nationwide tour this autumn.

Audience members are encouraged to bring along a cheeky item from home, to be auctioned off, with all proceeds going to Help for Heroes.

The show will be at The Hawth, Crawley, on October 16.

The star of Storage Hunters, Sean Kelly, the ever-smiling, ever-shouting auctioneer, whose style has been likened to someone attaching electrodes to a woodpecker, will be joined by two co-stars, Tarrell “T-Money” Wright and Cameron “Green Mile” Rowe, larger-than-life comedians popular for their hijinks and hilarious bidding styles.

The beloved and chaotic star, Sean, has led a crazy life...

So be prepared to learn more about his unusual story in this raw and funny show.

He’s done everything from holding a Top Secret military clearance and serving a combat tour in Iraq, catching shoplifters as an undercover store detective in Italy, travelling to over 80 countries around the world, headlining the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and with all of this, has still managed 25 years of marriage to his wife Lori.

His friends T-Money and Green Mile will both perform their own stand-up sets and help with the auction finale of the show.

Storage Hunters started in 2011. The anarchic show follows a group of eccentric bidders fighting over other people’s abandoned belongings in the hope of striking gold.

It’s a winning formula that’s proved to be addictive and compelling viewing.

Our own domestic version is now in its sixth season and its debut episode attracted more viewers than The Walking Dead.
