Comic Miles Jupp brings his latest tour to the Wyvern Theatre on 20 February.

Since his last tour finished at The London Palladium in 2017, he’s been in The Full Monty on Disney Plus, The Durrells and Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? on ITV, as well as episodes of Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Have I Got News For You. 

He has also made an award-winning radio series and published a novel

Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery. 

The experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room, and that’s exactly what he’s doing in his new show On I Bang – billed as a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners.

Miles' previous tours include the acclaimed Fibber In The Heat, Miles Jupp is The Chap You’re Thinking Of and Songs Of Freedom.

As an actor, comedian and writer, Miles’ work spans across theatre, film, TV, radio, books and stand up. He recently starred in the Disney+ series The Full Monty and can soon be seen in the Belgravia sequel. 

His film credits include Napoleon, Misbehaviour, The Man Who Invented Christmas, Rosewater, The Monuments Men, The Riot Club, The Look Of Love and Greed. 

Theatre credits include People, Rules For Living (National Theatre), The Way Of The World (Northampton Royal Theatre), A Day In The Death Of Joe Egg (Glasgow Citizens), Neville’s Island (West End). Miles also starred in one-man play entitled The Life I Leadwhich toured around the UK and went into Wyndham’s Theatre in the West End. 

Miles has contributed to a number of BBC Radio 4 shows including The News Quiz, which he hosted for four years, his own sketch series Whatever Next and In And Out Of The Kitchen, which he wrote and created. 

He is the author of three books, the most recent of which is a novel, History.
