Mark Watson is to tour in 2019.
The Infinite Show launches in February in his birth city of Bristol, and runs through to October 2019.
The promoters say: "After spending last year being cluster-bombed with yoghurt on Taskmaster and half-killed by Bear Grylls, multi award-winning Mark Watson returns with a UK National Tour doing what he's best at: being indoors.
"Inspired by the basically shocking state of the world his children are growing up in, and a genuine, urgent desire to do something about it, Watson's new show is about empathy. 99 percent of the world's population is made up of other people: why can't we understand them?
"As scrawny and impassioned as ever, Mark tears into his topic with his notoriously high joke and rant-per-minute rate. And as the title suggests, in this show he takes his unusually collaborative approach one step further, aiming for an evening which will last longer in the mind than the hour the audience spend with him..."
Watson, who has so far written seven books, is also currently working on a film adaptation of his graphic novel Dan and Sam. The project is being developed by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment.
