A tour featuring the character Brian Butterfield has been confirmed. Peter Serafinowicz will perform Placeholder Name Tour around the UK in September and October 2023.
As first reported by BCG in May, the overweight, inept salesman, who was the breakout creation in The Peter Serafinowicz Show "will be on stage with his own show later this year", with Serafinowicz clarifying: "And Brian does not wear prosthetics. He suffers from a rubbery skin condition." The tour follows on from the comic actor trying out shows in which he acted as a deep fake-enabled Elvis Presley.
The new show's blurb explains: "Brian Butterfield makes his live stage debut, imparting all of his business knowledge from his decades spent within the business world working as everything from Lord Mayor's Croupier to Circus Horse Dentist. Brian believes that every failure is just an opportunity to learn a new lesson. Having opened, and closed, several businesses, Brian has learnt over 1000 lessons. And most importantly, the secrets to success. NOW, Brian is ready to share them ALL to the biggest audiences in the country. This is a once in lifetime opportunity (for Brian). CALL NOW!"
