Gangsta Granny was due to have had its world premier at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London last year, but the run was cancelled when the venue was closed because of an asbestos scare.

Walliams said he was ‘delighted’ at the new West End dares, which will coincide with the school summer holiday..

He added: ‘It’s my most popular book so it will be wonderful to see the Birmingham Stage Company’s terrific adaptation in dazzling neon next summer.’
