Taskmaster star Lou Sanders has announced a new UK tour, with initial dates spanning October 2019 to March 2020.

Say Hello To Your New Step-Mummy will also play for a residency at London's Soho Theatre during late October and early November.

The news comes ahead of the final episode of Series 8 of Taskmaster, at 10pm tonight on Dave. After 9 episodes broadcast, Sanders is currently leading in the series' points-table.

Promoters say: "The (self-titled) Face That Launched a Thousand Dicks's latest hour of characteristically frank and confessional stand-up examines relationships (all kinds, baby), mental health (other people's, she's fine) and perverts (that one is her, actually). With plenty of oversharing and wanging on about spirituality, Lou is ready to give everyone some much unwanted advice."

Sanders, who won a Comedian's Choice Award and an Edinburgh Poster Award for her 2018 show Shame Pig, will work up the new show at this August's Edinburgh Festival, before taking it on tour from 1st October.

Many tickets are available now from Ticketmaster, and others directly from venues.
