COMEDIAN and actor Miles Jupp hits the road in a freshly-ironed shirt and some robust trousers later this year, as he arrives at the Tivoli Theatre on October 23.

Miles, 36, has appeared in many of the genre-defining British TV comedy shows of the past decade such as the cliché smashing BAFTA Award-winning Rev. and Armando Iannucci’s artful skewering of Westminster The Thick of It.

He has also made numerous appearances on Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week, as well as Eight Out Of Ten Cats and Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

He has also performed stand-up on both Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow and Live At The Apollo.

You can currently see Miles at the cinema this summer as the valet in the Hollywood blockbuster Greystoke in The Legend of Tarzan.

Not to mention his vocal talents as Blackberry in an upcoming new adaptation of Richard Adams’ Watership Down for the BBC, part of a star-studded cast that includes Sir Ben Kingsley, Gemma Arterton and John Boyega from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

While some readers may even recognise him from his 2002 role in cBeebies TV favourite Balamory.

Miles describes his new show, Songs of Freedom, as “a rant about me, you, domestic imprisonment, fatherhood, having to have opinions, hot drinks, the government, bad balance, housing, ill health, the ageing process, navigation and other people’s pants.”

His last tour in 2014 Is The Chap You’re Thinking Of was a critical and commercial hit selling out over 70 shows. It is now available as a DVD from Go Faster Stripe.
