Last week tickets went on sale for the Comedy Roadshow star’s 58 date arena tour which doesn’t even kick off until August next year and more dates are expected to be announced as tickets are inevitably snapped up.
The Guardian writes that McIntyre will entertain over 600,000 people in the UK’s biggest venues including London’s O2 Arena, Wembley and Manchester’s MEN Arena.
‘It’s certainly one of the biggest UK comedy tours ever announced, and probably the biggest tour announced in one go,’ a spokesman for McIntyre said and added: ‘It is likely there will be a number of extra shows as we go on.’
However he still has to surpass Lee Evans who takes his Roadrunner show on tour this year for a 66-date run and also Peter Kay who is in the midst of a two-year tour which will see him reach 750,000 fans.
Will he go for another record? He’s already twice broken the record for the fastest-selling stand-up DVD and he’ll probably do it again when this one’s released!
