Ben Elton Announces New UK And Ireland Stand-Up Tour Authentic Stupidity For Autumn 2024
Friday, 15 December 2023
Written by Laura Johnson
Ben Elton has announced a new stand-up tour, Authentic Stupidity.
The award-winning comedian, writer and actor will begin the 54-date UK and Ireland trek on September 1 at the Barbican in York and conclude at London's Lyceum Theatre on November 18. Discussing its artificial intelligence-inspired title, Elton said:
“The verdict’s in! Humanity is thick! Homo halfwit. The idiot branch of the Ape family! We need signs to tell us to step off escalators, we elect gibbering fools to lead us and now we’ve invented Artificial Intelligence which is actually going to replace us! I’ve spent 45 years in comedy exploring the outer limits of human idiocy and my mission has never been more timely. Forget AI! It’s AS we need to be worrying about!”
Tickets go on general sale at midday today (December 15).
