British comedy star Rob Brydon is set to spread Christmas joy across the UK with his celebrated festive show following a sold-out West End performance last year.
The acclaimed Welsh entertainer will embark on a nationwide tour in November and December 2025, bringing “A Festive Night of Songs & Laughter” to major venues including Birmingham’s Symphony Hall, London’s Lyceum Theatre, and Cardiff Arena.
Accompanied by his eight-piece band, Brydon promises an evening of seasonal entertainment featuring music, storytelling, and his trademark impressions in what critics have described as a “warm-hearted evening for all the family.”
The Telegraph’s Dominic Cavendish praised a previous iteration of the show, noting it “delivers exactly what it promises, in style,” while The Guardian’s Brian Logan dubbed Brydon a “merry-making master of ceremonies.”
Following the success of his 2024 West End performance, this expanded tour builds on Brydon’s musical shows that have already delighted audiences across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand in recent years.
Brydon first rose to prominence with the comedy shows “Marion and Geoff” and “Human Remains” in 2000, winning British Comedy Awards for both. His diverse career has since spanned television favorites like “Gavin and Stacey,” “Would I Lie To You?” and “The Trip,” alongside film appearances in “Cinderella,” “Holmes and Watson,” and most recently, “Barbie.”
Music has increasingly become part of Brydon’s repertoire. In 2009, he reached number one in the UK charts alongside Ruth Jones, Robin Gibb, and Sir Tom Jones with the Comic Relief single “Islands in the Stream.” In 2022, he performed in the Stephen Sondheim tribute concert “Old Friends,” which raised funds for nurturing new musical theatre talent.
The 2025 Christmas tour kicks off on November 26th at Birmingham Symphony Hall, before visiting Brighton, London, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, and concluding at Cardiff Arena on December 16th.
Tickets for all venues are on sale now through the respective venue box offices and websites.
