Now universally acknowledged as one of Britain’s most potent joke machines, Gary Delaney is also a touring phenomenon. His last tour ran for 378 dates – more live shows than Nirvana, for example, did in their entire career – across an incredible two and a half-year span, breaking his own already ridiculous record of 324. For a long time a ‘Mock the Week’ MVP and word-of-mouth sensation, and the author of bestselling joke handbook ‘Pundamentalist’, Gary has seen his renown as a one-liner merchant explode across hundreds of millions of video views and an astonishingly prolific live career. (Even the title of this new show is a pun, if you look very carefully.)
Really, the ‘Gary In Punderland’ tour could have run forever. Eventually we forced him kicking and screaming away from the stage, reminding him he has a family life and other responsibilities. But now… he’s back. The vast majority of tickets for the 80 dates already on sale have sold out - many doing so in a matter of days! - so we’ve added another 40+ dates in even bigger rooms to ensure audiences ‘gary’ on laughing well into 2027 (have you worked out the joke yet?)
With a heaving hamper of brand-new jokes honed like fine wine over months of his painstaking gag-making progress, this unstoppable mirth merchant will traverse the country between April 2026 and May 2027. Once more he will exhaust laughter muscles and batter delicate sensibilities (do not bring the children, or anyone prone to getting their knickers in a twist). As always, there will be funnies and filth in roughly equal measure. And, as before, he will not stop until every last one of you in this country has come to see him. If that means another 378 dates, so be it.
So be one of the first to hear Gary’s new gold before it’s the stuff of pub conversations and office memes all over again!
