FouseyTUBE and Roman Atwood announce UK tour

Two American YouTube stars are coming to the UK, to some of the country's biggest theatre.

Yousef Saleh Erakat, better known as FouseyTUBE, and Roman Atwood are joining forces for their first international comedy tour, following a run of American dates.

Erakat has almost nine million subscribers on his channel, which features parodies, vlogs, comedy sketches, and pranks. The most popular, in which a man dressed as Spiderman surprised child fans, has more than 120million views.

Atwood is a prankster who has more than nine million subscribers, and has just completed production on Natural Born Pranksters, a full-length feature film he directed.

His biggest video, when he tells his girlfriend he cheated on her, has attracted 80 million views.

Between them, the pair have a total reach of over 26 million people through YouTube, Twitter and Instagram, and today announced four dates in the UK in September.

Erakat said the tour was all about 'inspiring' their fans. He said: 'Over the years, Yousef and I have always had a strong push toward motivating and inspiring our viewers, and using our videos to take them through their challenges.

Atwood added: It just made sense to go out on the road with the same goals, to bring people up.'

Tickets for the Roman vs Fousey shows went on sale today, priced £27.25 to £41.50.

They play Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on September 7 (Tickets); Manchester Apollo on September 8 (a href="http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/event/360050CED1323C9F?camefrom=CFC_UK_BUYAT_144014">Tickets; Birmingham O2 Academy on September 9 (Tickets) and the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo on September 10 (Tickets).
