•Looking for a night full of laughter? Get ready for some of the best comedic storytelling as Kai Humphries takes his latest show, Gallivanting, on tour across the UK. Kai, the award-winning Geordie comedian, is set to make audiences crack up from Bristol to Glasgow.
If you’re in need of some hilarious stories told by a bloke who’s been around the world (literally), you won’t want to miss this.

What’s the show about?
Kai Humphries has spent the last decade doing what most of us only dream about—jetting off to 55 different countries, performing at some of the most iconic venues, and making people laugh along the way. His new show, Gallivanting, is a fun ride through his adventures, mishaps, and the colourful characters he’s met during his travels.
Imagine a working-class lad from a small town finding himself in the middle of all kinds of shenanigans across the globe. He dives into the chaos of new cultures, tries to balance his love for travel with the demands of growing older, and, of course, gets himself in trouble along the way.
A World-Class performer
If Kai’s name sounds familiar, it’s probably because you’ve heard him alongside his longtime comedy pal Daniel Sloss, opening for him across those 55 countries and performing in theatres and arenas. Or maybe you’ve tuned in to his wildly popular podcast Sloss and Humphries on the Road, where he shares the stage with Sloss to banter about their experiences.
Kai’s comedy is all about good vibes. His light-hearted, cheeky humour will have you in stitches, but it’s also refreshing for its lack of controversy. He’s the kind of comedian you could bring your mates to see, no matter their sense of humour—there are no off-limits subjects or tricky warning labels here. Just straight-up fun.
What to expect from Gallivanting
Gallivanting is more than just a comedy show. It’s a window into Kai’s life as a globetrotter, filled with funny, heartwarming, and relatable moments. You’ll hear tales of how he’s managed to (sometimes barely) keep himself together while exploring new lands. Whether it’s getting stuck in a bizarre situation or just having a laugh at himself, Kai brings the world to you in a way that’s guaranteed to make you smile.
Think of it as a bit of stand-up mixed with storytelling. The show is packed with personal anecdotes, observations about different cultures, and insights into how Kai handles life's ups and downs—all with a healthy dose of humour.
From podcast star to stand-up favourite
Kai isn’t new to the comedy scene, even though Gallivanting marks his first extensive solo UK tour. He’s been a standout performer in places like Australia, Europe, and even New York’s off-Broadway. You may have also caught him as a guest on hit podcasts like Have A Word or Hot Water’s Green Room. His upbeat, playful style is just as infectious in audio form as it is live.
Despite being his tenth solo show, Gallivanting is the first time Kai is taking his comedy on a large-scale UK tour. So, it’s a big moment not just for him, but for the fans who’ve been waiting to see him in action on home soil. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to catch him in a town near you.
