Rob Beckett
Comedian, TV presenter and podcaster Rob Beckett heads out with a brand new tour, Giraffe, stretching out for a mammoth run starting in late 2024 all the way through until 2026! Having recently launched a brand new comedy panel show, Smart TV, on Sky Max, the all-rounder is one of the leading figures in UK comedy. His genuine working class style and witty observations on class have proved a massive hit with audiences and viewers from all angles, with Beckett equally at home co-presenting the BAFTAs or Wedding Day Winners as he is onstage comically recounting his past days touring grotty pubs with an empty bank account.
Al Murray
Oi Oi then - Look who's back and heading out on a brand new tour for 2023 - it's only The Pub Landlord himself! With a barrel of new barroom banter, the iconic Al Murray is trailing the breadth and width of Britain once more on the Guv Island Tour! One of the most recognisable comics in the country, Murray has been honing his hilarious alter-ego since 1994. Don't miss the 'people's man of the people' as he serves up his unique observations on the country and offers a balm in the form of ancient pub wisdom.
Jack Dee
Fluent in sarcasm and dryer than a desert in high summer, Jack Dee has carved out his comedy niche as the beleaguered everyman, offering his observations in a grounded, deadpan style that never fails to get a reaction. The official grumpy old man now deigns to head on a brand new tour, titled 'Jack Dee: Small World' where he'll address the important questions of the age such as; how to do a Zoom call properly, what's new in the world of radiators and much much less.
