Read full details
Dom Joly, the mastermind behind the iconic hidden-camera comedy series *Trigger Happy TV*, is hitting the road for a 25th anniversary tour. Fans can expect a live show packed with the absurd, deadpan humour that made the series a cult favourite—think oversized mobile phones, surreal public pranks, and Joly's signature self-deprecating wit.
The tour celebrates a quarter-century of the show that first aired on Channel 4 from 2000 to 2003, with Joly as its sole star and co-creator. Attendees will get a front-row seat to the kind of mischievous, often silent sketches that defined the series, all performed live without a laugh track—just the oddly melancholic music that became a hallmark.
For those who grew up watching Joly shout "Hello?!" into a giant phone in libraries or golf courses, this is a rare chance to see the comedy legend in person. The Scarborough date promises an evening of nostalgia and laughter, bringing the spirit of the original show to the stage.
