The comic, who shot to fame when he was runner-up in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here in 2016, will headline 'Live at the Civic' at Brierley Hill Civic Hall on Saturday, June 16.

The 32-year-old also co-hosted ITV2’s I’m A Celebrity Extra Camp last year and has appeared on a host of other TV shows.

He will be supported by two acts who are regular headliners on the UK comedy circuit in their own right – musical comedian Rob Deering and character act Troy Hawke.

Hosting will be regular resident compere Wayne Beese, from Dudley, who also promotes the regular shows.

Tickets went on sale at 10am on Thursday and are expected to be snapped up quickly.

They are available at a special early bird price of £15 if bought during March.

Live At The Civic started in July 2016 and has hosted a raft of star stand-up names, including Ross Noble, Joe Lycett, Seann Walsh, Doc Brown, Gary Delaney, Justin Moorhouse, Tom Stade and Mark Watson.

Dubliner Jason Byrne, as seen on the likes of Live At The Apollo and currently a judge alongside Louis Walsh on the first ever series of Ireland’s Got Talent, is headlining on Friday May 18.

Support is from comedy magician Pete Firman and Aussie Brendon Burns. Tickets are also available for that one at £15, with more than 300 sold already.

Also appearing under the 'Live at the Civic' banner this Thursday is Knightmare Live, an improvised comedy stage adaptation of the cult hit 1990s children’s TV series.

Tickets are available for £10.
