Ben Elton has confirmed a date at Dublin's 3Olympia Theatre as part of his Authentic Stupidity tour.
The show takes place on 1 November 2024, and is part of a 54 date tour across the UK and Ireland for the British comedian, and comes following the success of his sold out run of shows from 2019.
This tour will begin with a show in York, Barbican on September 1, before concluding on November 18.
It will also see Elton take in shows in Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Cambridge, before finishing at the Lyceum Theatre in London's West End.
Confirming this tour in a statement, Ben Elton had this to say.
“The verdict’s in! Humanity is thick! Homo halfwit. The idiot branch of the ape family!", the comedian said.
“We need signs to tell us to step off escalators, we elect gibbering fools to lead us and now we’ve invented artificial intelligence which is actually going to replace us!".
“I’ve spent 45 years in comedy exploring the outer limits of human idiocy and my mission has never been more timely. Forget AI! It’s AS we need to be worrying about".
