Bobby Mair is to tour the UK in 2018 with his latest show, Loudly Insecure. Beginning on the 1st February at Nottingham’s Glee Club, the tour will take in a total of 26 dates, concluding at Manchester’s Frog and Bucket on 25th March. Tickets are on sale now here.
Thirty years ago Bobby was put up for adoption. Last year he set out to track down his birth family, one by one. However, to say that his search hit a couple of snags along the way would be an understatement and Bobby still has relatives out there who continue to elude him, except for one distant relative by the name of Justin Bieber.
Join Bobby as he recalls the wildly dramatic twists and turns of his quest, including the accidental broadening of his search for next of kin. He’ll also share a couple of other musings he discovered along the way, like his love of strangers, techniques to impress his personal trainer and whether remembering virginity loss is inappropriate.
Bobby said: "After 6 years of calling the UK home, I'm finally doing my first solo stand up tour. It's a great show that I'm really proud of. Every city I'm playing I've visited before, and if you’ve seen me and liked me in the past then come out. If you've hated me then come back too because as I know from being married for 6 months, the line between love and hate is very thin."
Canadian stand-up Bobby has taken the UK comedy circuit by storm, recently supporting the likes of Bill Burr and Doug Stanhope on tour. He co-starred in his first comedy series for VICELAND, Bobby And Harriet Get Married, alongside the love of his life, Harriet Kemsley. The show follows the pair’s hilariously dysfunctional journey towards their impending marriage – find the trailer for this HERE. Bobby is a series regular on C4’s World of Weird and is roaming reporter for RT’s satirical political show Sam Delaney’s News Thing. He hosted and wrote The Bobby Mair Show for Comedy Central online which was commissioned after his huge viral success on KSI:Demolished. He is also a seasoned panellist on C4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats, BBC Two’s Never Mind The Buzzcocks, E4’s Virtually Famous, BBC Three’s Sweat the Small Stuff and ITV 2’s Safe Word, and has performed on Russell Howard’s Good News.
He notably took time out to troll Julian Assange, which attracted international press interest. He went toe-to-toe with Katie Hopkins after he donated his appearance fee from his booking on TLC’s What If Katie Hopkins Ruled The World, to causes he knew she’d hate. The deed did not go unnoticed by Katie and her cohort, and accumulated over 500,000 hits on YouTube, a figure far exceeding the number of viewers who watched the original TV series. Bobby is also currently recording a brand-new podcast with Bob Fletcher about ‘The Croydon Cat Killer’.
