An Alan Partridge live arena tour is coming to Manchester

Comedian Steve Coogan will be heading out on a UK arena tour as his alter-ego Alan Partridge next year.

The Stratagem tour will land in Manchester in spring 2022.

In it, broadcaster character Partridge will attempt to heal a divided UK - or what he calls a 'scissored isle' post-Brexit and post-pandemic.

The tour announcement comes hot on the heels of his return to TV with This Time with Alan Partridge on the BBC.

According to the official announcement, "Alan will be touring the UK wearing a head-mic favoured by TED talkers, market hawkers, TV evangelists, backing singers and carnival barkers.

"The show promises to be a manifesto for the way we can move forward, a roadmap to a better tomorrow, an ABC for the way to be."

The tour will kick off in Belfast on April 22, 2022, and wrap up in London at the O2 Arena on May 31, 2022.

Coogan will perform his Stratagem show at Manchester's AO Arena on May 12, 2022.

Tickets will be available through a Ticketmaster presale from 10am on Thursday May 27.

General sale tickets will go on sale at 9am on Saturday May 29. You can get tickets at Ticketmaster here.
