Following the huge success of Ben Elton’s critically acclaimed sold-out UK tour in 2019, which marked his return to stand up after a 15 year hiatus, the undisputed godfather of modern stand-up is going back on the road with a brand new live show – Authentic Stupidity. Taking in 54 dates across the UK & Ireland, the tour opens at York Barbican on 1 September and culminates in London’s West End on 18 November.
This week's guests on Sunday Brunch include veteran stand-up Ben Elton, blind comedian Chris McCausland, Mark Benton, legendary Clash bassist Paul Simenon, Dani Dyer and Jonathan Scott.
Legendary comedian, writer and director Ben Elton will make his stage acting debut this summer as ‘The Rebel Leader’ in the smash-hit sensation ‘We Will Rock You’ at the London Coliseum. The rock theatrical, written and directed by Ben and featuring the songs of Queen, returns to London 21 years after it first exploded into the West End for a strictly limited 12-week season from 2 June – 27 August.

Ben Elton is back. 15 years in the making and two years late (thanks to Covid), the multi-award winning comedy writer and undisputed Godfather of modern stand-up Ben Elton, finally brings his critically acclaimed show to the West End. This long awaited London season is the climax of a massive sold out UK and international tour and also marks Ben’s 40th year in showbusiness.
You could say Ben Elton was one of the lucky ones in terms of Covid cancellations. At least the stage version of Upstart Crow, starring David Mitchell as the bard, opened in the West End, even if it had to close early. It must have been frustrating though for everyone concerned becasue it got great reviews.
Earlier this year I interviewed Ben Elton for the Evening Standard. You can read that interview here.
