Award-winning comedian Sean Hughes is back with a new show called Mumbo Jumbo. His national tour starts on September 4 at the Crucible in Sheffield and finishes at Beverley East Riding Centre on November 28. He plays the Tricycle Theatre in London on September 22, 23, 29, & 30.

The show homes in on Hughes' enduring search for normality. Throughout his life he has been battling to stay on the right side of sanity. This is because in middle age he has realised that the two sides of his brain are in constant conflict. There is common sense against mumbo jumbo and mumbo jumbo seems to have the upper hand. The show consists of stories including being serenaded at the break of dawn by Robert Smith, trekking mountain gorillas in Rwanda and coming to the conclusion that he will never have a proper conversation with his dear mum.  There will also be a few poems and a 3-minute musical about ageing too.
