The League Of Gentlemen have announced they’ll be touring the UK for the first time in 12 years.
Ahead of the upcoming reunion specials for the show’s 20th anniversary, the comedy troupe comprised of Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton, Mark Gatiss and Jeremy Dyson, are taking the Royston Vasey gang on another road trip.
The League Of Gentlemen Live Again! tour starts in Sunderland on 25 August in 2018 and culminates with three nights at London’s Eventim Apollo from 27 to 29 September.
In a statement, the group said: ‘Performing in a front of an audience gives us the biggest thrill of all. We’re overjoyed to be taking the citizens of Royston Vasey on a road-trip and can’t wait to see all the wonderful local places in our increasingly local country.
‘Plus we’d already gone to the trouble of getting the costumes and learning the voices again for the TV show so we thought why not? Something to do isn’t it?’
If you’re unaware, The League Of Gentlemen is a comedy-horror hybrid which started as a radio series before moving to TV in 1999, featuring such characters as Pauline, Papa Lazarou and the terrifying combo of Edward and Tubbs.
