Miles Jupp is to embark on his first tour in seven years, with a show detailing how he survived a brain tumour.
Miles Jupp: On I Bang will travel the UK between January and March 2024.
His promoters explain: "Since Miles's last tour finished at The London Palladium in 2017, he's been in The Full Monty on Disney+, The Durrells and Why Didn't They Ask Evans? on ITV, as well as a heap of episodes of Frankie Boyle's New World Order and Have I Got News For You. He's made an award-winning radio series and he's published a novel. But for Covid, he would have played a lead at the RSC. Hey ho. Nevertheless he's done a play in the West End and played the Emperor of Austria and Europe in a Ridley Scott film.
"Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery. Obviously, one doesn't wish to make a big deal of it, but the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he'd like to share with the room. So that's exactly what he's doing in his new show On I Bang - a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners."
