Bruce Dickinson
Bruce Dickinson is considered one of the world’s most storied musicians. Aside from decades spent delivering high-octane performances with his larger-than-life persona in IRON MAIDEN, Bruce has lived an extraordinary off-stage existence too.

A true polymath, his accomplishments include: pilot and airline captain, aviation entrepreneur, beer brewer, motivational speaker, podcaster, film scriptwriter, twice-published novelist and New York Times Top 10 best-selling author, radio presenter, TV actor, sports commentator and international fencer… to name but a few.

So, there’s plenty to be entertained by, throughout the evening’s cornucopia of fascinating tales and derring-do exploits, all delivered by Bruce with characteristically infectious enthusiasm and wry wit.

Split into two parts, the first section of the show sees Bruce taking a humorous and often satirical look at the world from his own very personal perspective, treating the audience to private insights into his drive and ambition, peppered with plenty of Maiden anecdotes, and a myriad of other experiences encompassing not just the giddy heights but also the extreme lows, told first-hand in his inimitable anarchic style, punctuated with photographs and sometimes even erupting into song a-capella, to illustrate a point.

The final section of the evening is devoted entirely to a Q&A session, with the opportunity to pose questions on any subject whatsoever. As Bruce’s answers will all be completely improvised – the more left-field and quirky the question, the more interesting and compelling the response is likely to be!

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to spend an up-close and personal evening with one of the world’s most captivating icons in an intimate environment, as Bruce Dickinson brings his Evening With show to the U.S. for the very first time, where you are guaranteed a highly entertaining and enjoyable night out and may even go home inspired to try something new.

For short while, there was a coach named Eric at Salle Santa Cruz that had Bruce stories, but I don't remember any of them...

Met him briefly when he came to AFS. Just a nod of acknowledgement really.

I’m sure the D00Maestro has more tales…

Knocked his short limey ass out of a big sectional tournament. IN YOUR FACE, DICKINSON!!!!!

Actually a super down to earth guy. Really seemed grounded. Literally just another fencer when he was in the shop or at the tournament. I did knock him out of the tournament, though. He was a good bout.

He made several appearances at Westside in LA. I was not there for any of them.

I've seen him in some docs (can't remember what) and he had some good comments, unlike a lot of musicians in those things. I don't think I'd want to go hear him talk though. If it was Rob Halford I might be tempted.
