If the live comedy bubble is about to burst nobody has told comedy's big guns yet. Comedy tours seem to be getting larger and longer all the time. Even smaller Edinburgh shows have a much longer stage-life than they ever had before.
2018 is going to be an interesting year for stand-up. It should have been dominated by Peter Kay but with his mega-tour now cancelled fans may be looking for other shows to fill a Kay-shaped hole. So here to help you is Beyond The Joke's essential guide to the biggest comedy gigs of 2018. Just click on the names for dates, details and ticket links. If there isn't something here to make you laugh then check your pulse. You are probably dead.
Graham Fellows (himself, not John Shuttleworth)
Simon Day (sometimes with John Cooper Clarke)
London Shows Only
*Note. This started as a top ten but when I realised how many tours there were it expanded. The list is in no particular order. It's way too complicated to make it alphabetical. Where would you put The League of Gentlemen?
