Icon of the Black British Comedy Circuit Slim has announced a UK tour, including a date at the historic London Palladium 

As tour support for US comedy giants Kevin Hart and Dave Chappelle, and with seven sell-out tours and six comedy specials under his belt, the multi award-winning Slim has been called the ‘King of the Black British Comedy Circuit’. But how does he feel about this title? Catch this star as he guides us through hilariously honest tales of fatherhood, relationships and working life - all whilst navigating his 20 years as a comic.

Physical, ebullient and unashamedly for the people, Slim’s all-embracing brand of humour is generous, smart and bursting with infectious energy. He’s toured the world extensively, including Europe, Barbados, Jamaica, Qatar, the Falklands Islands, Dubai and even performed at the NATO Headquarters in Belgium.

Slim was one of the first Black British acts invited to perform at the Hollywood Comedy Store and he has also supported several high-profile US acts in the UK for over a decade, including Kevin Hart, who announced at his last UK O2 date that he wanted to produce Slim’s next stand-up special. He’s also been hailed as the comedy inspiration and hero for many of today’s most exciting stars, including Mo Gilligan and Michael Dapaah.

In 2020, Slim was one of the stars of Mo Gilligan’s Black, British and Funny (Channel 4), a ground-breaking documentary which showcased legends of the Black British comedy circuit. Other TV credits include Russell Howard Hour (Sky One), and The Steph Show (Channel 4).
