Theatre – Ben Elton announces return to stand up comedy with 2019 UK tour – Nottingham

 

AFTER 15 YEARS

BEN ELTON ANNOUNCES RETURN TO 
STAND UP COMEDY WITH 2019 UK TOUR

TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY 10 DECEMBER

PRE-SALE ON FRIDAY 7 DECEMBER

 

More than 30 years ago, Ben Elton exploded into the national consciousness hosting Channel 4s ground breaking Saturday Live. Now, after a 15 year absence, the Godfather of modern stand-up returns to the medium he did so much to define. Back on the road with an all new stand-up show, Ben promises to try and make sense of a world which appears to have gone stark raving mad.

As Ben says: “The last time I toured I was still smarter than my phone. Things have definitely taken a funny turn.”

The 53 date tour kicks off in Dublin on 27 September and then travels across the UK culminating in Torquay on 30 November.  Tickets for all shows will go on sale on Monday 10 December.

 

 

‘Just give him a stage and a microphone and Ben Elton is the best. No contest.’

The Sunday Times

‘There is nothing, absolutely nothing to beat Ben Elton live!’
