Ben Elton Live
The Tyne Theatre and Opera House have announced that comedian, author, playwright, actor and director Ben Elton will be taking to their stage on Friday 11th October 2019.
More than 30 years ago, Ben Elton exploded into the national consciousness hosting Channel 4’s ground breaking Saturday Live. Now, after a 15 year absence, the Godfather of modern stand-up returns to the medium he did so much to define. Back on the road with an all new stand-up show, Ben promises to try and make sense of a world which appears to have gone stark raving mad.
As Ben says: "The last time I toured I was still smarter than my phone. Things have definitely taken a funny turn."
The 53 date tour kicks off in Dublin on 27 September and then travels across the UK culminating in Torquay on 30 November.
