  • Simon Day is launching a spring tour as Fast Show eco-warrior Dave Angel
  • The show will also feature fellow characters Billy Bleach and Tommy Cockles

Actor and comedian Simon Day is touring the UK later this spring and summer with a new comedy show.

Simon Day Is Dave Angel: Eco Warrior - Living The Dream will see the Fast Show star reprise a further variety of characters from the hit mid-90s sketch show, with dates currently booking between 27th April and 1st July 2023.

Following the success of autumn 2022 tour Simon Day And Friends, the new show focuses on eco-warrior character Dave Angel, with additional appearances from Billy Bleach and Tommy Cockles.

Promoters tease: "Dave Angel, the man who invented saving the planet and who has dedicated his life to lowering carbon emissions, whilst getting a pound note, is set to take the UK by storm once more. Revealing in speech and song how he has juggled a remarkable life of petty crime, domestic bliss and early forays into the British porn industry, Dave is on a mission... a crusade ... to warn of the dangers of impending eco peril.

"WALLOP!

"On his journey around the country, Angel will be accompanied by the blazer wearing music hall legend and contemporary of entertainer Arthur Atkinson, Tommy Cockles. Cockles will take the audience on a jaded trip down memory lane as he recalls his life in the business they call showbusiness. Alongside them both, will be the authority on everything - from fruit machines to affairs of the heart - the man who isn't afraid to share his opinion, Billy Bleach."

Dave Angel says: "Carbon footprint aside, being on tour is great until Shirley's sandwiches run out! I am not eating fast food or processed sandwiches!"

Tickets can be purchased directly from venues.
