Joel Dommett said: "I'M GOING ON TOUR! I’m leaving your telly box and coming to you, heading up and down the country with my brand-new show, Happy Idiot. I’ll be telling glamorous tales from behind the camera and less glamorous anecdotes of first-time fatherhood. It’s going to be fun and you should come!”

Joel has also recently hosted BBC's Live at the Apollo and can be seen on Amazon Prime's 'Backstage with Katherine Ryan' and Netflix's 'Comedian's of the World'.
