Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant
As I suspected, Town Hall isn’t the only stop on Stephen Merchant‘s upcoming comedy tour. In fact, he’ll be taking his Hello Ladies… show on the road for 40 UK dates before he arrives in NYC (which is still his only US booking as I write this). Here’s a little more info on the tour:
Yes, it’s true!
This autumn, Stephen is embarking on his first ever STAND UP COMEDY TOUR
It’s called HELLO LADIES . . .
Steve will be travelling all over the UK and finishing off with a show in New York
[UK] Tickets go on sale this FRIDAY 4th MARCH at 9am
…
Says Steve : “Most people don’t realise that I was a stand-up comedian before I met Ricky Gervais and his coat-tails. Life can be lonely as a TV writer so this tour is a great opportunity for me to get out there and meet my fans. And make at least one of them my wife.”
Also, The Hello Ladies… show will also be filmed as a DVD, to be released by Universal on November 14 (quite possibly in the UK only, though I’m not 100% sure).
Check out a couple of trailers and more Stephen Merchant comedy tour dates after the jump.
