  • John-Luke Roberts is to tour his latest show between September 2019 and March 2020
  • It's titled After Me Comes the Flood (But in French) drip splosh splash drip BLUBBP BLUBBP BLUBBPBLUBBPBLUBBP!!

John-Luke Roberts is to tour his quirkily titled new comedy show.

The absurdist comedian will perform After Me Comes the Flood (But in French) drip splosh splash drip BLUBBP BLUBBP BLUBBPBLUBBPBLUBBP!! at venues between September 2019 and March 2020.

The tour will come on the back of his run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

His promoters say: "It's a brand-new hour of extraordinary daft-hearted comedy. Expect to not know why you are laughing once more... even when he gives you the punchline first. Jokes about staring into the Nietzschean void, the stupid decisions of kings and how Pinocchio can save the world all might make appearances in this hour of absolute silliness. But who knows what could happen! "

Speaking to BCG in a recent interview to promote his Edinburgh run, Roberts said of how he comes up with his show titles: "[When] I have a bad, irritating idea for a show title, I think 'well, I can't do that' and then I do it anyway."
