Comedian Stephen K Amos will bring his new show to Reading at the start of next year.
The stand-up will perform his latest show, Now We’re Talking, at South Street Arts Centre on Saturday, January 17, as part of his nationwide tour.
Mr Amos has entertained audiences around the world, recently completing a sold-out international tour of his previous show, Oxymoron, across Australia, Europe, and the United States.
A spokesman for the new tour said: "Stephen will get down to the nitty gritty. No filter, no limits. The gloves are off and he’s packing a punchline.
"He’ll be freestyling musings and merrymaking to get your belly aching. After all, in jokes we trust… right?"
His Radio 4 sitcom What Does The K Stand For was recently named one of the 27 best radio shows of all time by the i newspaper.
As well as comedy, Mr Amos has earned acclaim as an actor, with stage roles including Alfred P Doolittle in the London Coliseum’s production of My Fair Lady and Benny in My Night With Reg - for which he was nominated Best Supporting Performer at the What’s On Stage Awards.
Mr Amos is a familiar face on British television, having appeared on QI, Live at the Apollo, and Pilgrimage: The Road to Rome.
His latest show has received a five-star review from the Sunday Express, which said: "You’ll laugh until you actually cry."
The Sunday Times added: “Effortless comedy from one of the country’s strongest stand-ups."
Mr Amos has been described as "dynamite” by The Guardian, while The Times said he is "a joy to behold" and The Metro said his new show is a "note perfect hour".
Mr Amos began his career as a compere at the Big Fish comedy clubs in South London, and has been nominated for Chortle's Best Compere Award three times - in 2004, 2007, and 2008.
He has performed stand up at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe every year since 2003, after making his debut two years earlier in 2001.
