Dom Joly, the multi-award winning creator of Trigger Happy TV and author of popular travel books, is bringing his first UK tour since 2011 to Cirencester.

In Dom Joly's Holiday Snaps - Travel and Comedy In The Danger Zone, the funnyman will recall some of the scariest, strangest and most downright dangerous places he's visited.

Joly will be talking about his exploits as a serial globe-trotting and seeker of dangerous travel spots. From North Korea though the Congo and Syria to Chernobyl, he's visited some of the most unusual places on the planet.

Joly famously attended school with Osama Bin Laden, and armed with a trusty Powerpoint, fans can expect his holiday snaps to provide comedy and a sense of danger.

The two performances will take place at 7:30pm on Friday, August 5, and Saturday, August 6, at Cirencester's award-winning venue, the Barn Theatre.

The newly announced dates continue Joly's relationship with the Barn Theatre having recently performed as part of the theatre and Everyman Theatre Cheltenham's Stand Up For Ukraine fundraising night in March 2022 and in Dr Dawn Harper's pandemic interview series with the Barn Theatre, Couch Confessions with Dr Dawn Harper.

Joly said of his upcoming performances: "I'm so excited to be playing in Cirencester. It was the first town I called home after I left London and moved to the country."
