Comedian Josh Widdicombe is set to kick off his first UK tour in five years in Kent.

The stand-up star will be opening his 2025 run of the new tour, Not My Cup Of Tea, at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury in September.

He will then return to the county for a night at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford in October next year, followed by a date at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley in March 2026.

Tickets for the tour go on sale today (Friday, September 20) at 11am. You can find tickets and tour dates here.

After rising through the comedy ranks with several successful shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Devon-born stand-up Josh found fame by co-hosting the late-night show, the Last Leg.

The live show, which also features Adam Hills and Alex Brooker, began in 2012 to coincide with the Paralympics and has continued with a regular Friday night spot on Channel Four for the last 12 years.

His TV appearances also include Taskmaster, Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and panel show Hypothetical which he hosted alongside James Acaster.

Since 2020, Josh has presented the Parenting Hell podcast with fellow comedian Rob Beckett, who grew up in Bromley.

The pair share their parenting mishaps and stories from their everyday lives twice a week, with regular guest appearances from celebrities including Jack Whitehall, Michael McIntyre and Katherine Ryan.

The chart-topping podcast has also spawned a book and a series of live shows, including a night at London’s O2 Arena.
