Romesh Ranganathan has announced a 2019 tour.
The Cynic's Mixtape is billed as "his most brutally honest show yet".
The promoters say: "Fresh from The Misadventures Of Romesh Ranganathan, A League Of Their Own and Judge Romesh, he's putting showbiz aside to deliver a carefully-curated selection of all the things he has found unacceptable since his last tour, including why trying to save the environment is a scam, why none of us are truly free, and his suspicion that his wife is using gluten intolerance to avoid sleeping with him.
"Romesh's cynicism has become his trademark, but since being nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2013 Edinburgh Comedy Awards this deadpan humour has become one of Britain's most respected and popular comics. Now, though, it's time for the Asian Provocateur to return to his stand-up roots for a while - there's things he needs to point out, discuss and have a good moan about. Care to join him?"
The tour launches in Southend in September 2019 and runs until April 2020. Tickets are on sale now from sites including Ticketmaster
Between now and next September, Romesh continues to have a packed diary of TV appearances. He is working on a new Sky sitcom called The Reluctant Landlord, will present a series of Rob & Romesh Meet, also for Sky, and will host new topical BBC show The Ranganation.
Meanwhile, Ranganathan's book Straight Outta Crawley is released next week. It tells the story of his life from his first 'gig' at Pontins at the age of 9, to his fumblings as a wannabe rapper, his career as a maths teacher, and through to his fame and family-making in the years that followed.
