The Last Leg and Parenting Hell star Josh Widdicombe has announced a return to stand-up comedy with a new tour, including a stop in Ipswich in spring 2026.
The big picture: Comedian Josh Widdicombe is bringing his new stand-up tour "Not My Cup Of Tea" to Ipswich in 2026, part of a nationwide tour starting in autumn 2025.
Key details:
The Ipswich show is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the Regent Theatre.
The tour kicks off in Canterbury in September 2025 and concludes in London in May 2026.
Tickets go on pre-sale Thursday, September 19, at 11am, with general sale starting Friday, September 20, at 11am.
What they're saying: "I want to enjoy it because in the past I was so busy with Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo and stuff I was chasing my tail and desperately trying to have enough material for each tour," Widdicombe said.
"This time I'm able to enjoy the process of creating the stand-up."
Between the lines: Widdicombe, 41, took a break from stand-up during the pandemic, saying, "I hadn't had evenings off for 12 years and for the first time I got my evenings back and I was like 'oh this is what it's like and it's really nice.' But now I'm really loving it again."
The bottom line: This tour marks Widdicombe's return to solo stand-up after the success of his "Parenting Hell" arena tour with Rob Beckett in 2023.
