A new tour starring the character Jonathan Pie has been announced.

The Fake News Tour will visit cities around the UK from October to December 2019.

Starring Tom Walker as the frustrated news reporter, the new show will feature more political-themed rants from the star.

The producers say: "If no news is good news, then good news is fake news. In The Fake News Tour, Jonathan Pie returns to the road once more to berate the people in power - and the journalists apparently holding them to account."

The profile of Jonathan Pie has been building over recent years. The character now has over 1.2 million Facebook followers, his videos regularly achieve millions of views going viral internationally. A recent clip exploring identity politics has been viewed over 8 million times.

The Fake News Tour will include a return to London's Eventim Apollo on 1st November 2019, following two sell-out shows at the prestigious venue in March 2018. That show was recorded, and - at the time of writing - is available to watch via BBC iPlayer

The first show in the tour is on 4th October 2019 in York, with it set to end in Plymouth on Sunday 1st December 2019.

Tickets are available now from Ticketmaster
