The comic has announced four UK dates to mark the 25th anniversary of his hidden-camera TV shoot.

Trigger Happy TV originally ran for three seasons on Channel 4 from January 2000 to July 2003, and was revived for a series of shorts in 2016.

Joly's tour also promises behind-the-scenes stories from the show, with promoters Live Nation saying: ‘But the surprises don’t stop there – this is live theatre, and fans can expect the unexpected… It wouldn’t be Trigger Happy TV without a little chaos, audiences are warned to stay on the lookout for pranks, unexpected events, and a chance to find themselves starring in their very own Trigger Happy TV sketch.’

Trigger Happy will play Birmingham Town Hall on October 7, Glasgow’s Pavilion Theatre on the 9th, Manchester’s Aviva Studios on the 12th and the Adelphi Theatre, London, on the 14th.

Tickets go on general sale from 10am Friday.
