Ben Elton to bring first tour in 10 years to Birmingham
Ben Elton has announced his first UK stand-up comedy tour for more than 10 years - including a Birmingham show.
Elton said: “The last time I toured I was still smarter than my phone. Things have definitely taken a funny turn.”
The 59-year-old comedy star returns with new material and “promises to try and make sense of a world which appears to have gone stark raving mad”, an official release says.
The writer, comedian and film-maker’s best-known works include The Young Ones and Blackadder.
He has also penned numerous musicals, including We Will Rock You, which featured the hits of Queen.
Ben Elton will appear at Birmingham Town Hall on October 22.
Tickets go on sale on December 10.
