Due to phenomenal demand, extra dates have been added to the forthcoming live UK tour of An Evening with The Fast Show this autumn. Opening at Cambridge Corn Exchange on 3 November, the 27 date tour will now play additional shows in Torquay, Swansea, Bristol, Brighton, Leicester, Bradford, Llandudno, and Derby.
An Evening with The Fast Show will see co-creators Charlie Higson and Paul Whitehouse reunite with Simon Day, John Thomson, Arabella Weir and Mark Williams. Tickets are on sale now from TheFastShow.live.
Following the huge success of The Fast Show’s 30th anniversary shows in 2024, - “The defining comedy sketch show of the Nineties” (The Independent) - is going back on tour, including five nights at the iconic London Palladium.
This celebratory UK tour will be a huge treat for fans of the multi-award-winning quick-fire TV sketch show and provide a real behind-the-scenes insight into some of their favourite characters and catchphrases as they come alive on stage once again.
The cast will chat together about how it all began, how they made the TV show, and created the characters and the fun they had doing it. This will be interspersed with performances of some of their best-loved sketches, monologues and songs, with on-screen inserts and a moment to remember their former collaborator, the late, great Caroline Aherne.
Fans will be thrilled to see the return of many of their favourite characters, including: Ted & Ralph, Jesse, Swiss Toni, Does My Bum Look Big In This?, Dave Angel, Jazz Club, The Suit You Tailors, Ron Manager, The Mad Painter, Rowley Birkin, Bob Fleming, Competitive Dad, Professor Denzil Dexter, and The Girl Who Boys Can’t Hear.
Charlie Higson said: “Please can you all stop buying tickets, or I’m going to be doing this for the rest of my life.”
Paul Whitehouse said: “What initially started as a number of shows last year, has now turned into an even bigger tour across the UK. I’m delighted that we’re adding even more shows and we are thrilled with the response.”
The Fast Show first aired on BBC2 on 27 September 1994 and became one of the nation’s best-loved comedy shows, having a huge influence on subsequent TV sketch shows. Oooooh, Suit You. No Offence! Niiiiiiiiiice! Brilliant!! Scorchio!!!
