US comedian Aziz Ansari is to return to the UK to play major gigs in London and Manchester later this year.

He will be doing his new Road To Nowhere show at the Manchester Apollo on 1st April, Eventim Apollo Hammersmith on April 3rd, and Royal Albert Hall on April 4th. 

This follows low-key shows in London clubs last year where he tried out new material.

These are Ansari's first major shows in the UK since he returned to the stage after being accused of sexual misconduct in an article in Babe.net. After the story appear Ansari stated: "I took her words to heart and responded privately after taking the time to process what she had said.” 

Tickets go on general sale on Friday, January 18 at 10am here.
