Tours sincerely: the top comedians touring this year

Never one to wear his worries lightly on a sleeve, the Cats Does Countdown captain goes full pelt with The Knitwit, as he frets about lights being left on in empty rooms and ruminates on how smooth the margarine should be before it’s returned to the fridge.

Jon Richardson will tour The Knitwit across the UK until May 2023. Tickets are on sale now

Dave Gorman

One of comedy’s perennial get-up-and-go types, Gorman brings fans more PowerPoint To The People, a show which features a found poem created from below-the-line comments, and considers his mother’s inability to grasp what a sliding doors moment actually means.

Dear Billy

Accompanied by a live band, Gary McNair tells the stories and memories which everyone in Scotland appears to have about the Big Yin. He aims to gather up new ones as the tour goes along, making each show potentially different from the next.

Chloe Petts

One of the true rising stars of Britain’s stand-up game, Petts returns to these parts after a very successful Edinburgh Fringe with Transience, a tale of gender identity, sexuality, prom photos and being a ‘child geezer’.

This straight-talking powerhouse offloads some fresh, unapologetic and charismatic talk on us as the Loose Women regular (and another Strictly survivor) unleashes ‘unrelenting anecdotes’ from her life.

Judi Love will tour The One Like Judi Love across the UK until November 2023. Tickets are on sale now

Daniel Sloss

Everyone’s favourite Fifer Viking drops into his adopted home city slap bang in the centre of a lengthy European tour of Can’t. But he can, and will, make you laugh very hard indeed.

Daniel Sloss will perform Can’t at Edinburgh Playhouse on Thursday 10 August, Glasgow’s SEC (Armadillo) on Saturday 11 November, and the London Palladium on Friday 2 February 2024. Tickets are on sale now

Kae Kurd

Clever title this: Kurd Immunity has the UK-Kurdish stand-up trying very hard to be the best man he can be. But how easy is that to achieve in this tricky old modern world?

Who else would bring the public a Jibber Jabber Jamboree than the freewheeling Australia-residing Cramlington-born comic? He insists that his new show is akin to ‘watching someone create a magic carpet on an enchanted loom’.
