UK National Dates

Little Britain creators, Matt Lucas and David Walliams  are taking the BAFTA Award-winning BBC comedy show on the road as a live show. The tour dates were released on Wednesday but other dates are being added with Newcastle's City Hall a definite possibility and as Dafydd might say, it's "the only show in the village". Many people remember Matt Lucas as George Doors, the hyperactive man-baby on the Reeves and Mortimer game-show Shooting Stars. Matt then went on to create and star in the spoof interview show Rock Profiles with David Walliams. Although the pair enjoyed a cult following before Little Britain it was the big time ratings-grabber which awarded them true fame. The shows format is a series of character sketches lampooning the eccentricity of the inhabitants of the UK. (Whatever to they mean?)

The first series did more for BBC 3 than any other programme and was a digital smash-hit. The success was repeated when it transferred to terrestrial television. In late 2004, the first programme from the second series pulled in nearly 2m viewers - a record for BBC3. Building on the show's appeal, they have now decided to take to the idea on to the stage. The show marks their first live work together since 1997.
