STAND-UP star Michael McIntyre will be hitting the road with a new tour next year, playing six nights at The O2 arena.

The winner of last year's British Comedy Award for Best Male TV Comic will be filling the Greenwich venue with the sound of laughter in September and October next year.

McIntyre’s spot-on observational comedy and ability to turn everyday situations into master-classes of human exasperation have struck chords with millions of fans, cementing him as one of the UK’s best-loved comedy performers today.

Tickets go on sale next Thursday at 9am. To book, call 0844 856 0202 or visit theo2.co.uk
