Little Britain Tour!
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4037479.stm
Little Britain to tour nationwide
BBC comedy Little Britain is to go on a three-month tour of the UK, stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams have said.
The 18-date tour will start in Portsmouth on 24 October next year and will end in Cardiff on 16 December.
Characters such as Lou and Andy, Vicky Pollard and "the only gay in the village" Daffyd will all appear.
"We like to be quite naughty and spontaneous, getting the audience involved," said Lucas, who picked up a National TV Award last month. "In fact, we used to confiscate people's shoes, so beware," he said.
"We started out doing live shows together but we haven't toured the UK since 1997 so we're really looking forward to getting back on stage."
The show is currently showing on BBC Three and will transfer to BBC One next month.
The series has also been nominated for two British comedy awards - best series and best actor for Walliams and Lucas jointly - which take place next month.
The start of the second series of Little Britain last month brought record audience figures for BBC Three, with almost two million people tuning in.
Tickets for the live dates go on sale from Saturday 27 November.
The dates for the tour are:
24 October - Portsmouth Guildhall
27 October - Bournemouth BIC
1 November - Southend Cliffs Pavilion
3 November - Plymouth Pavilions
7 November - Sheffield City Hall
10 November - Manchester Carling Apollo
14 November - Nottingham Royal Centre
17 November - Glasgow Clyde Auditorium
20 November - Edinburgh Playhouse
21 November - Newcastle City Hall
24 November - Liverpool Empire
28 November - Oxford New Theatre
30 November - Bristol Hippodrome
5 December - Ipswich Regent
8 December - Birmingham Academy @ NIA
12 December - Blackpool Opera House
14 December - Brighton Centre
16 December - Cardiff CIA
From what I can gather, you need to contact the venues directly to get tickets (I haven't had time to check the usual places) but you London lot will have to travel if you want to see the show! lol
I'm thinking about Birmingham 'cos it's the closest, but I might be tempted to travel further afield if others were going to show their faces...

I really need to read posts a little more carefully.

According to Aloud.com "performances in London will be confirmed at a later date". So I'll wait till then.

I'm guessing they'll probably do a run of about a week or two at one of the West End theatres.
