The two-time BAFTA and Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated comedian, actor and writer Spencer Jones is to head out on his first ever UK tour, from Sunday 15th September – Thursday 24th October 2024.
Join the critically acclaimed and ‘gleefully madcap’ (The Guardian) comic as he plays eight UK tour shows this autumn.
The professional idiot and star of BBC’s The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk and Mister Winner is coming to you on tour with his irresistible slice of prop-based tomfoolery, inimitable visual gags and nonsensical loop-based musical comedy. Do you remember my mum?
On touring the UK for the first time, Spencer said: “I have never toured before. Finally, she is letting me out of the house! Only joking, she’s glad to get rid of me, and by her, I mean my dog Mya. She’ll get to hang out with my partner on her own without me complaining about her terrible breath, the dog’s breath. She has bad breath. Not my partner. No problems there.
The show is in two parts. The first half of the show will be all the best bits from my previous five shows jammed together like a pilled up DJ’s playlist. But instead of dancing you’ll be laughing. Dance if you want though, I’m not the fun police. And the second half of the show is the story of what happened and how I lost my mind moving to Devon. Two very different halves of comedy, but I am in both. Like glue, sticky and difficult to wash off. If you don’t book a ticket you are quite frankly missing out and I will be gutted. For you. Not for me. I’ll be fine.”
Having moved house with his family to Devon during lockdown, Spencer thought he’d cracked it – a bigger house, a nice workshop for his props, and a six minute drive to the beach (if he drives like a prick). But what about mates? Could a bloke he meets painting some railings be his ‘soulmate’? And how is he supposed to make mates when he’s dealing with a very angry cockerel?
Join Spencer as he digs into a selection of choice cuts from his six rapturously received live shows: Making Friends (2023), The Things We Leave Behind (2019 – Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated), The Audition (2017 – Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated), The Herbert In Eggy Bagel (2016), The Herbert In Proper Job (2015 – Winner Comedian’s Best Show and Best Performer) and Spencer Jones Is The Herbert (2014).
Spencer Jones is the creator and titular star of two series of BBC sitcom The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk, following a BAFTA nomination for Jones’s original short. He also starred as Leslie Winner and provided additional writing for BBC sitcom Mister Winner, alongside Lucy Pearman and Shaun Williamson.
Jones co-created, wrote and directed several episodes of ITVX series Deep Fake Neighbour Wars – using AI, the show turned the UK’s best new impressionists into the world’s most famous celebrities – only here they were ordinary people embroiled in petty neighbourly disputes.
Spencer was the creator, writer and star of BBC’s show Big Babies, which won him his first BAFTA nomination.
Further TV credits include Ted Lasso (Apple TV), Upstart Crow (BBC), Live at the Apollo (BBC), 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown (C4) and Harry Hill’s ClubNite (C4).
