From poking fun at our favourite TV shows on his sofa to hanging from a 32-storey building in Australia, comedian Babatunde Aléshé’s career has been, in a word, unpredictable.
The rising star is now embarking on his first solo stand-up tour, Babahood, with three Kent dates in the bag.
Babatunde will be at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley, on Saturday, April 15. He will also appear at the Gulbenkian Arts Centre in Canterbury, on Thursday, April 27.
He will then return to the county later this year, with a date at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford, on Saturday, September 30.

His 34-date tour will see the comic talk about everything, from family and fatherhood to his newfound reality TV fame.
Babatunde became a hit with viewers after joining friend and fellow TV star Mo Gilligan on Channel 4 show Celebrity Gogglebox.
After his growing popularity on the show, the comedian announced he would appear in 2022’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
The performer’s time in the jungle got off to a rocky start as he faced walking the plank and dangling from the top of a huge building in the Gold Coast.
His fear of heights led to him uttering the infamous words and opting out of the first challenge, leaving it all in the capable hands of fellow contestants, Loose Women’s Charlene White and former Lioness and eventual Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott.
During his time in the outback, Babatunde ended up facing his fears and took on a number of other trials, winning stars for camp and finishing in seventh place. He lasted 18 days in the jungle.
Following his stint in the Australian wilderness, Babatunde announced his debut tour would be visiting venues across the country.
The powerhouse performer has appeared on comedy shows such as House of Games, Rhod Gilbert’s Growing Pains and Comedians Giving Lectures.
He has also shown off his acting chops in the past, having worked on the likes of Waking the Dead, Pelican Blood and Iya Ilé at the Soho Theatre.
