Comedian and actor Miles Jupp has revealed that since he last performed live he has had a brain seizure, which he will be talking about in his new show when he tours again next year.

A press release announcing his new tour, entitled On I Bang, says that apart from filming various various shows and films since appearing at the Palladium in 2017, "one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery. Obviously, one doesn’t wish to make a big deal of it, but the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room. So that’s exactly what he’s doing in his new show On I Bang – a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners. "

Miles’ work spans across theatre, film, TV, radio, books and stand up. He recently starred in the Disney+ series The Full Monty and can soon be seen in the Belgravia sequel. 

Other recent credits include Hugh Laurie’s ITV mini series Why Didn’t They Ask Evans, SAS: Rogue Heroes, Trigger Point, A Very British Scandal and Professor T. Further television credits: Sex Education, Grantchester, The Crown, The Durrells, Rev., A Young Doctor’s Notebook and The Thick Of It.

Miles’ film credits include: Napoleon, Misbehaviour, The Man Who Invented Christmas, Rosewater, The Monuments Men, The Riot Club, The Look Of Love and Greed. 

Theatre credits include People, Rules For Living (National Theatre), The Way Of The World (Northampton Royal Theatre), A Day In The Death Of Joe Egg (Glasgow Citizens), Neville’s Island (West End).
