The tour organisers say: "No stranger to yap, Alan Carr will be yapping his way around the UK and Ireland with his brand new stand up show Yap, Yap, Yap!. The BAFTA and British Comedy Award winning comedian, author and chat show supremo returns to his stand-up roots with his hilarious take on life.

"The original Tooth Fairy, Spexy Beast and Chatty Man himself, will be yapping it up from coast to coast with this epic tour taking in over 120 theatre shows throughout 2015."

Tickets go on general sale on Friday 7th November at 10am, although individual venue and theatre pre-sales start on Wednesday 5th November at 9am.

The tour will start in Weston Super Mare on the 1st February 2015, and end in Derry eleven months later.

His publicity material says: "Tickets will sell out fast so don't miss the chance to get up close and personal with one of the country's most funniest, cherished and unique comedians at the very top of his game."
