COMEDIAN Chris McCausland has added more than100 new dates to his upcoming tour, including several shows across the West Midlands.

Chris, who is currently starring in Strictly Come Dancing being the competition’s first blind celebrity contestant, will set out on tour on the UK in January next year.

He will be kicking off his ‘Yonks’ tour in January 2025, heading to Walsall Arena on January 17.

Chris is then set to perform at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham on January 26 and the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre on January 30.

A new date has also been announced for Dudley, with Christ set to perform at the Town Hall on May 10.

Looking beyond Birmingham and the Black Country, other shows nearby include four performances at The Regal in Evesham on May 16 and 17, 2025 and two shows at the Warwick Arts Centre in Coventry on May 23 and November 7.

This will not be his only stop in the West Midlands, with the comedian returning to Birmingham and Wolverhampton before rounding off his nationwide tour in 2026, with shows at the Grand Theatre on March 5 and the Alexandra on March 15 the year after next.

He will also perform at Malvern’s Festival Theatre in Worcestershire on March 22, 2026.

The ‘Yonks’ tour, named as the comedian says he’s been called an “overnight success”, even though he’s been doing stand-up for “yonks”, now spans over 250 dates in total.

Chris has become an established TV favourite in the UK over the course of his career, regularly appearing on shows such as Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You?, QI, The Last Leg, and 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

His previous tour, Speaker Blinder, was a mammoth 140+ date sell-out, with his final show at the legendary Shepherd’s Bush Empire also being filmed for broadcast on Channel 4.

He is currently a fan favourite on this year’s season of Strictly, wowing viewers with his performances with professional partner, Dianne Buswell.
