Television presenter and comedian Joel Dommett is preparing to return to Reading next week as part of his nationwide tour. The star of The Masked Singer and Survivor will perform his new show, titled Happy Idiot, at The Hexagon on Friday 27 February 2026. This follows a successful work in progress performance held at South Street Arts Centre last year where the material was first tested.
Joel has become one of the most prominent faces on British television, having recently hosted the National Television Awards for the fourth year running.
Despite his high-profile broadcasting career, he is returning to the stage to share stories about the glamorous world of television and the significantly less glamorous reality of becoming a first-time father.
He describes the show as a high-energy look at his life as a self-proclaimed happy idiot.
The performance is strictly for those aged 14 and over, with no admittance for younger children even if accompanied by an adult.
