Chris Addison, star of BBC TWO’s BAFTA winning comedy “The Thick Of It” who recently appeared in the Award winning “In The Loop”, is to embark on a 40-date national tour with his first new stand up show since 2005’s Perrier Award nominated Atomicity. The tour will start from 5th February 2010.
Fresh from the latest critically acclaimed series of The Thick Of It, CHRIS can also be heard hosting 7 Day Sunday, a new live topical show on BBC Radio 5 Live and is set to appear in the new series of Channel 4’s Skins.
The tour sees Chris return to the stand up that made his name and promises his trademark mix of daftness, whimsy, jokes, lies, smartarsery, and flapping about. Chris says: “I’m really excited to be going back out on the road. I’ve got a packet of Werther’s Originals in the glovebox, a voucher for 20p off any non-meat Ginsters product purchased at Welcome Break service stations before the end of February, a flask of Bovril and a whole bunch of new jokes and stories. Now if I can just work out how to get this Sat Nav to stop giving instructions in Danish I’ll be all set.”
