BAFTA-winning comedian Iain Stirling (Taskmaster, Love Island, CelebAbility) has added a 28-date Autumn extension, including a second London show at the newly restored Alexandra Palace Theatre after selling out the Queen Elizabeth Hall, plus The Aberdeen Music Hall and Salford’s The Lowry, before starting his biggest nationwide tour to date in response to a major demand for tickets. Iain will now tour his new stand-up show exploring topics including his inability to function in the most basic of public settings, social media’s constant pressure to “live your best life” and that one time a man stole his shoes, Failing Upwards over 76-dates from 6th March to the 22nd November 2020. Two hometown performances at Edinburgh King’s Theatre on the 29th March will be recorded for his first hour long filmed special which will be available exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in 200 countries and territories worldwide later this year.
Tickets will be available on exclusive presale from 10am on Thursday 6th February and on General sale from 10am on Friday 7th February. Ticket link here.

The BAFTA-winning show is the most watched programme for adults aged 16-to-34-year-old across any channel, attracting peak consolidated audiences of over 6 million. Alongside narrating six series of Love Island, Iain has competed in BAFTA and Emmy-nominated Taskmaster (DAVE), starred in his own 30 minute special on Comedy Central Live (Comedy Central), hosted four series of physical comedy entertainment CelebAbility (ITV2) which is also currently on-air and appeared on Comedy Bus (Comedy Central).

Iain’s previous critically-acclaimed stand-up show U Ok Hun?x sold out the entire Edinburgh Festival Fringe in advance of it opening and the subsequent national tour was twice extended.
