Comedian Ed Gamble is hitting the road again with a brand new stand-up tour.

His 'Fresh Hell' tour will include a date in Reading in April 2027, as part of a major UK and Ireland run featuring more than 60 shows at venues including the London Palladium, Brighton Dome, and De Montfort Hall in Leicester.

The tour follows his biggest to date, Hot Diggity Dog, which saw him perform to sold-out crowds across Europe, North America, and Australasia.

Mr Gamble said: "So come and see the self-appointed Crown Prince of Visualised Companion Podcasts harrumph about the stage.

"Everyone’s annoying cousin, Ed Gamble, is going back on tour in 2027 across the UK & Ireland with some more of his stand-up grot."

Described as delivering his trademark 'high-energy, confessional comedy,' the show promises to cover everyday frustrations, food, relationships, and the quirks of modern life.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday, March 27, with priority booking for Reading Arts members available from 10am on Thursday, March 26.

Mr Gamble is also well known as the co-host of the popular podcast Off Menu with James Acaster, and for his work on TV spin-offs The Traitors: Uncloaked and Taskmaster: The Podcast.

A new panel show, Unacceptable, is set to air this summer, further cementing his presence on the small screen.

His comedy has been widely praised, with Time Out calling him 'A Class Act. Comedy Gold' and the i describing his material as 'consistently eye-wateringly hilarious'.

The Evening Standard said: "You can bet on Gamble to deliver laughs."

Fresh Hell is pitched as a more ambitious show, building on his international experience to deliver a tighter and more polished show.

In addition to his work on stage and screen, he has appeared on a range of panel shows and podcasts, steadily building a reputation for sharp wit and relatable humour.

Fans can expect a blend of new material and the observational comedy that has made him a favourite with audiences across the UK.
