He will return to the Edinburgh Festival this August with a new show titled Absurdity for the Common People.

Tony Law: 21st Century Adventurer will be recorded in front of a live audience, and will also star Goodness Gracious Me actor Nina Wadia and Adjoa Andoh (Casualty, Can't Tell Nathan Caton Nothing).

The script has been written by John-Luke Roberts and Gareth Gwynn, both of whom have worked on many Radio 4 shows. Regular writers for The Now Show and The News Quiz, in 2015 they also jointly created the TV sitcom Bull.

Tony Law: 21st Century Adventurer will be recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre in London on Monday 19th June. Tickets
