Comedian Miles Jupp is back with a bang in latest stand-up show at Playhouse

It can be seen at Nottingham Playhouse on Monday, March 24. Have you got your tickets yet to see him in action?

Since Miles Jupp’s previous tour in 2017, he has played Emperor Francis I in Ridley Scott’s film Napoleon, a man who loses a battle, and consequently rather a lot of territory, in spectacular fashion.

He’s been in the TV reboot of The Full Monty on Disney Plus, as well as episodes of Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Have I Got News For You. He’s also made an award-winning radio series and he’s published a novel.

Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery.

Obviously, he doesn’t wish to make a big deal of it, but the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room. So here he is with latest live show On I Bang.

Miles’s previous tours include the acclaimed Fibber In The Heat, Miles Jupp is The Chap You’re Thinking Of, and Songs Of Freedom.

As an actor, comedian and writer, Miles’ work spans across theatre, film, TV, radio, books and stand-up.

Recent acting credits include Hugh Laurie’s ITV mini series Why Didn’t They Ask Evans, SAS: Rogue Heroes, Trigger Point, A Very British Scandal and Professor T. Further television credits take in the likes of Sex Education, Grantchester, The Crown, The Durrells, Rev., A Young Doctor’s Notebook and The Thick Of It.

Miles’ film credits include Napoleon, Misbehaviour, The Man Who Invented Christmas, Rosewater, The Monuments Men, The Riot Club, The Look Of Love and Greed.

Theatre credits include People, Rules For Living, The Way Of The World and Neville’s Island. Miles also starred in one-man play entitled The Life I Lead which toured around the UK and went into Wyndham’s Theatre in the West End.

Miles has contributed to a number of BBC Radio 4 shows including The News Quiz, which he hosted for four years, his own sketch series Whatever Next and In And Out Of The Kitchen, which he wrote and created. He is the author of three books, the most recent of which is a novel, History.

Miles also co-hosts the podcast Middle Please, Umpire alongside England’s 97mph World Cup-winning bowler Mark Wood. Together they share a highly entertaining chat on their mutual love of cricket from their very different vantage points. They are often joined by some great guests as well.
