Jonathan Pie, the frustrated news reporter character played by Tom Walker, will tour the UK in 2018.
The YouTube star, whose satirical videos have been seen across the world, will be embarking on his second major national tour in early 2018.
The new show will be titled Jonathan Pie: Back To The Studio.
The satirical character, who often comments on politics, has over 900,000 Facebook followers, and his weekly videos regularly achieve millions of views. Pie's response to the election of Donald Trump has been viewed more than 120 million times worldwide.
Walker first started performing live as the character last year, starting in the 70 seater Leicester Square Theatre studio space. The show was such a hit that it went on to a sellout run at Edinburgh, followed by a huge national tour including two sell out shows at the Shepherds Bush Empire and ending with another sold out show at the London Palladium.
Talking about Jonathan Pie: Back To The Studio, the tour producers say: "In his new show, Jonathan Pie is angrier than ever. Pie attempts to host a night of serious discussion on current affairs whilst simultaneously attempting to smash the system from within. Join him for a night of political comedy that soon descends into chaos. Political satire at its finest."
The nationwide tour will start in Nottingham on the 20th February and will visit major venues around the UK including London's Eventim Apollo on Friday 9th March 2018. The full list of dates are below.
