Social media star Shabaz Ali is to head off on his debut UK tour from February 2025.
Running until April, I'm Rich, You're Poor will take in a total of 24 dates including his hometown of Blackburn.
His promoters say: "Shabaz's quick-witted reactions to the mindboggling lengths that are taken to present a 'perfect life' online have earned him a committed, loyal and very expectant community of millions, who regularly demand his takes on the latest online craze. From designer ice cubes to Stanley cups and their wild and somewhat varied uses, nothing and no one escapes his commentary (including the audience!).
"Beneath his comedy is an important conversation and Shabaz speaks to a growing desire for authenticity in public life, proving that performers can be genuine while also being genuinely hilarious. A comedian, broadcaster and teacher, Shabaz's first book I'm Rich You're Poor was published in March 2024, and he has a number of exciting new projects under his sleeve."
Shabaz Ali says: "I'm so excited to be going on tour! I've loved making people laugh online and building an incredible community. My success has always been down to the people who watch and engage with the comedy whether it's online or as part of the book and now I can't wait for us all to come together IRL, make the show and make it a night to remember! Plenty of laughs and a whole load of povvo pride!"
