**Key details:**

- The Ipswich show is scheduled for Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the Regent Theatre.
- The tour kicks off in Canterbury in September 2025 and concludes in London in May 2026.
- Tickets go on pre-sale Thursday, September 19, at 11am, with general sale starting Friday, September 20, at 11am.

**What they're saying:** "I want to enjoy it because in the past I was so busy with Mock the Week and Live at the Apollo and stuff I was chasing my tail and desperately trying to have enough material for each tour," Widdicombe said.

"This time I'm able to enjoy the process of creating the stand-up."

**Between the lines:** Widdicombe, 41, took a break from stand-up during the pandemic, saying, "I hadn't had evenings off for 12 years and for the first time I got my evenings back and I was like 'oh this is what it's like and it's really nice.' But now I'm really loving it again."

**The bottom line:** This tour marks Widdicombe's return to solo stand-up after the success of his "Parenting Hell" arena tour with Rob Beckett in 2023.
