Josie Long, Grace Petrie and musical duo Jonny & the Baptists have announced a triple-headline UK tour for autumn 2017.

The promoters say: "Comedy, music and revolutionary socialism unite in a triple-headline UK tour this autumn, with three of the UK's most joyfully rabble-rousing acts. Lefty Scum promises a riotous evening, with advance booking essential for this limited 10-date engagement."

Each show will feature three-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Josie Long, acclaimed protest musician Grace Petrie and Musical Comedy Award nominees Jonny & the Baptists, aka Jonny Donahoe and Paddy Gervers.

Speaking about the political persuasion of the acts, the promoters add: "Lefty Scum welcomes audiences of all political persuasion, though the acts warn that if you are a Tory, they will most probably take the piss out of you."

Tickets are on sale now for shows in Margate, London, Brighton & Hove, Leicester, Manchester, Newcastle, York, Edinburgh, Leeds and Liverpool. The full dates are listed below.
