Ed Gamble, host of the Taskmaster podcast, Off Menu co-host, acclaimed comedian and soon-to-be-published author, has announced a new solo standup tour for spring and summer 2024.

Titled Hot Diggity Dog, Ed's new tour starts in March in Canterbury and concludes with a five-night residency at the Hackney Empire in east London in June.

Tickets go on general sale this Friday (July 28), with pre-sales on Ticketmaster and for members of Ed's mailing list.

"I'm absolutely delighted to once again slog around the UK to perform another one of my best shows ever," said Ed.

"Standard sort of day will be: arrive, get peri chicken delivered backstage, do the show. I can't wait."

Ed's new standup show follows on from his sold-out Electric tour. If you want to get a taste of what to expect, then his 2019 stand-up special Blood Sugar is available to stream.

In addition to his obligations to the Taskmaster podcast and Off Menu, co-hosted with his friend James Acaster, Ed has recently appeared on Celebrity Hunted.

Paired with James, they were able to evade the Hunters for several days, even luring them into a face-to-face confrontation at the Taskmaster house.
