Comedian Andy Parsons has announced a visit to Basingstoke as part of the latest extension of his UK tour, Please #@!$ Off To Mars.

Due to high demand, the tour has been extended to run through to the end of this year, but Berkshire audiences don’t have to wait long: The Haymarket gig is on Saturday, 9 May.

Parsons, a former lead writer for the original Spitting Image and a long-standing regular panellist on Mock The Week, brings his signature satirical style to the stage to tackle the political and social landscape of 2025.

His career includes six years with his own Radio 2 series and numerous television appearances on Live At The Apollo, Saturday Live, and The Comedy Store.

The award-winning performer has released five comedy specials, including Bafflingly Optimistic and Britain’s Got Idiots.

His most recent appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was a total sell-out, and his 2025 stand-up special is currently available on NextUp.

Here is your chance to find out what is getting Andy’s goat.

When is Andy Parsons coming to Reading, and how can I get tickets?

Andy Parsons will perform his show Please #@!$ Off To Mars at The Haymarket, Wote Street, Basingstoke, RG21 7NW, on Saturday, 9 May.
