Family Guy's Seth Macfarlane to play the Proms

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane is to take part in this year's BBC Proms.

He will perform at the Royal Albert Hall with the John Wilson Orchestra in a show dedicated to Broadway musicals.

MacFarlane, who voices both Peter and baby Stewie Griffin, will release his first album later this year, a collection of big band tunes.

It s not the first time he has appeared at the Proms as he sang showtunes including Singin' In The Rain, High Society, Brigadoon and Gigi with the same orchestra in 2009.

MacFarlane's first live-action film Ted, which co-stars Mark Wahlberg alongside a CGIed teddy bear, is released later this year.
