  • The show received a number of 4- and 5-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe
  • Tickets are now available for dates this autumn

Comedian Alistair Barrie is to tour his latest hit Edinburgh Fringe show, Woke In Progress.

Receiving one 5 and multiple 4-star ratings at the August festival, the UK tour will see him perform throughout October, November and December, including a number of double-bill dates with comics Bennett Arron and Mary Bourke.

Promotional blurb says: "Fresh from the Edinburgh Festival, Alistair Barrie is taking his hit show Woke In Progress ️out on tour this autumn before filming it in London.

"Come and see this 'beautifully crafted hour' (Scotland on Sunday) as a 'no frills master of his craft' (The Scotsman) lets rip on the joys of bringing up a five year old and a three year old in his fifties while a succession of ever more appalling Prime Ministers do their very best to destroy a country that really doesn't feel like it needs much help at the moment.

"Let's face it, after the last few years, you have to make jokes. What else can you do?"

Tickets are available now from venues, with additional performances still to be added.
