Interview: Alexander Armstrong brings comedy tour north

Renaissance man is a title that sits very comfortably on Alexander Armstrong's shoulders. Nothing seems to be beyond his capabilities, with the performing enjoying successful careers in acting, singing and presenting. But now, in news that will delight his legions of fans up and down the country, he is returning to his first love - live comedy. Armstrong will be coming to a Darlington Hippodrome with his new stand-up show "All Mouth and Some Trousers."

The host reviews the best bits from four series of his Big Show. Ed Balls, Alexander Armstrong and Carol Vorderman recall playing Celeb Send to All and Gino D'Acampo relives finding McIntyre in his bedroom on Midnight Gameshow. Plus a musical number from Unexpected Star Anush Hydros.

In the first of a new run, the comedian, gameshow host and would-be opera singer resumes the role of guest referee, attempting to control captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton, plus BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty and comedian-actor Josh Widdicombe. Hislop is already licking his chops at the prospect of lampooning a shambolic few weeks in British politics.
