Including a date at Romford, where Darkplace was set

Matthew Holness has announced a 21-date extension of his book tour in the guise of cult horror writer Garth Marenghi.

The comic has announced new dates from February to March next year in  support of his Sunday Times bestselling book TerrorTome.
 
These dates kickstart with a return to Romford, the setting of his Channel 4 sitcom Darkplace, and end at the London Palladium.
 
An official synopsis on the book explains: ‘When horror writer Nick Steen gets sucked into a cursed typewriter by the terrifying Typeface, Dark Lord of the Prolix, the hellish visions inside his head are unleashed for real. Forced to fight his escaping imagination – now leaking out of his own brain – Nick must defend the town of Stalkford from his own fictional horrors, including avascular-necrosis-obsessed serial killer Nelson Strain and Nick’s dreaded throppleganger, the Dark Third.’

Tickets for the new show go on sale at 10am on Friday. Garth Marenghi tour dates.
