Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist John Archer has announced a headline UK tour.

Comedian and illusionist Archer was the first act to fool magicians Penn & Teller on TV show Fool Us. Penn Jillette said: “You could put John Archer anywhere and he would kill an audience.”

He is a past winner of the Magic Circle's TV Comedian of the Year Award and is best known on the comedy circuit as the regular support act for Tim Vine, who has called Archer: "One of the funniest men I know.”

Archer will be starting his tour at Epsom Playhouse on February 1 and he currently finishes at Salford Lowry on May 17.
