Stephen K Amos UK Comedy Tour: BBC & Beetlejuice Actor

Let’s be honest, sometimes you just need a really good laugh. The kind that makes your stomach ache and your eyes water. If you’re nodding along, then I’ve got some brilliant news. The legendary Stephen K Amos is heading back out on a massive UK tour in 2025 with a brand-new show, and it’s called Now We’re Talking!

This isn't just any comedy gig; it's a promise of top-tier entertainment from one of the best in the business. After selling out venues from Australia to Europe, he's bringing his feel-good comedy back home to the UK, and you won't want to miss it.

So, what’s this new show all about?

Right, let’s get into it. The new show is all about getting down to the nitty-gritty. Stephen’s famous joke book is apparently overflowing, and he’s ready to share what’s been on his mind. The theme is all about what gives him the ‘ick’ and what makes him tick. You know, those little things that are universally annoying? Like someone chewing loudly or people who stand way too close in a queue. And the things that make life great? A perfect cup of tea, finding a tenner in an old coat pocket, or just a proper good chat.

He's promising a no-filter, no-limits night of comedy. Imagine chatting with your funniest mate, but that mate also happens to be a world-class comedian. He’ll be freestyling, riffing, and making merry until your belly aches. It’s the kind of comedy that feels honest and real because it comes from a place we can all relate to. The critics absolutely love him, and for good reason. Just look at what they've been saying:

“You’ll laugh until you actually cry” ***** Sunday Express “Effortless comedy from one of the country’s strongest stand-ups” Sunday Times “Amos is dynamite” The Guardian “A joy to behold” The Times “A note perfect hour” ***** The Metro “Unashamedly feel-good entertainment” **** The Evening Standard

That's some serious praise! This isn't just a collection of jokes; it's a masterclass in stand-up comedy.

More than just a comedian

But wait, there’s more to Stephen K Amos than just stand-up. The man is a seriously talented actor, too. You might have spotted him recently in Tim Burton’s new film, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, where he plays the Conductor. How cool is that? Going from the comedy stage to a massive Hollywood film set is no small feat. He’s also a star on the actual stage, the theatrical kind. He wowed critics with his performances in big London productions, playing Alfred P Doolittle in My Fair Lady and Benny in My Night With Reg. He even got nominated for Best Supporting Performer at the What’s On Stage Awards for that role, which is a huge deal.

It just shows his incredible range. One minute he's making you cry with laughter at a joke, the next he's delivering a powerful performance on a West End stage. It’s this versatility that makes his comedy so special – it’s packed with personality and brilliant observations. He's an expert at finding the funny in the everyday, but he's also a master storyteller, a skill he's honed as both a comedian and an actor on stage and film.

You’ve definitely seen him on telly

If you’re thinking, "He looks familiar," it’s because he’s been all over our screens for years. Remember his appearances on Live at the Apollo on BBC1? Pure comedy gold. He’s a regular face on panel shows, popping up on the brainy and brilliant QI on BBC2 and has even explored history and faith on shows like Pilgrimage: The Road To Rome (also on BBC2) and Prejudice and Pride on BBC4. And let’s not forget his fantastic radio sitcom on BBC R4, What Does The K Stand For, which was just named one of the best radio shows of all time. An amazing achievement!

He's also charmed audiences Down Under, winning hearts on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Australia. He's basically a global treasure. From the BBC studios in the UK to the jungles of Australia, his charm is undeniable. This wealth of experience, from serious documentaries on the BBC to hilarious radio comedy on R4, all feeds into his fantastic live show. You’re not just getting jokes; you’re getting stories and insights from a man who has seen a lot of the world and has a lot to say about it.
