First live dates in a decade

Steve Coogan is to tour for the first time in a decade.

The comic will be playing a string of live dates this autumn, under the title Steve Coogan Is Alan Partridge and Other Less Successful Characters.

So far, 40 dates have been announced – click here for the schedule.

The show boasts ‘a show featuring the characters that have made him a Bafta and British Comedy Award winning comedy legend’ – so is likely to include the likes of Paul and Pauline Calf.

Coogan’s last live show, the 1998 tour The Man Who Thinks He’s It, played 200 performances and was seen by 350,000 people.

Tickets for some of the shows go on sale on Monday.
