LUKE LITTLER has pencilled in 13 money-spinning exhibitions across Britain this year as he capitalises on his worldwide fame.
Since turning 18 last month, The Nuke has been able to sign up for the nightly events which take place away from the PDC and off TV cameras.

Punters can pay £300 for platinum tickets, which often includes exclusive player meet-and-greet opportunities, involvement in a nine-darts challenge, signed shirts and stage-side reserved table seats.
Littler‘s first exhibition appearance will be in Kelso, Scotland, on April 25 – which is sold out – the night after the Premier League has been staged in Liverpool.
And then it is an afternoon-evening double-header on April 26 at Ayr racecourse.
About 1500 tickets have been sold for the ‘Armageddon’ exhibition in Leicester on May 16, which has Phil Taylor, Luke Humphries and Raymond van Barneveld on the bill.
Yet the day before, the two Lukes will be in Aberdeen – 440 miles away – for night 15 of the 17-week Premier League road show.
Later this year, Littler will throw non-competitive darts in front of loyal fans in Blackpool, Skegness, Derby (on Halloween), Northampton, his home town of Warrington, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and lastly in Portsmouth.
Elite stars can normally expect to earn more than £10,000 a night when they rock up for exhibitions – it is also a great opportunity to sell merchandise and shirts.
Humphries and Littler battled it out in the Prem final last Thursday in Glasgow – the world champion won 6-5 – and they will be in Dublin this week for night three.

Yet the world No.1 and world No.2 have both pulled out of the Players Championship double-header on Monday and Tuesday in the Dutch town of Rosmalen.
Littler recently opened up about how busy his life has become over the last 14 months, telling the Daily Star: “The schedule is tight!
“So I just want to be in bed all day, but when we go out, we go and have a look around.”
He added: “It depends where we stay. Some places, we go to Germany quite a lot.
“But usually it’s hotel, food, and then you’re off to the venue to play darts… We finish very late.
“And then you can’t just go to a salad place, but most of the time I won’t eat because it’s not a good time to eat at 11pm/12am.
“Most of the time you just want to go to bed!”
