New tour for Babatunde Aléshé
...And another for Ignacio Lopez
Babatunde Aléshé has announced a 2025 tour spanning more than 40 dates,
A contestant on the current series of Taskmaster, his second stand-up tour, High Expectations covers ‘family life, his new found fame and the joys of Costco’
It kicks off in Crawley on September 10 next year, and concludes in Bristol on November 30. Tickets go on sale in stages from Wednesday to Friday next week.
Meanwhile, Spanish/Welsh comedian Ignacio Lopez has announced his biggest tour, taking his new stand-up show Señor Self-Destruct to 40 venues in the first half of next year.
The comic – who has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You and QI – said: ‘I set out to write a show about self improvement because I’ve truly destroyed my body and mind performing stand-up comedy. It’s time I sorted myself out, but not before I spend another five months traveling up and down the UK on public transport, eating terrible food and not getting any sleep.
‘The world is on fire and I can't fix that but I will tell you my best jokes about British tourists, Spanish horror stories and the origins of music festivals. Also I try to do a cockney accent at one point, which is worth the price of admission alone.’
Tickets for the tour are available now.
This brings the number of stand-up tours announced this week alone to 13 with Ricky Gervais, Celya AB, Eddie Kadi, Emma Sidi, Angela Barnes, Ed Night, Shabaz Ali, Sophie McCartney, Karen Dunbar, Alexandra Haddow and Andrew White also unveiling dates, while Ed Byrne has added extra nights to his acclaimed Tragedy Plus Time show.
