Miles Jupp: On I Bang
Location: King's Theatre, Glasgow
Funny man (or Archie the Inventor to your children) Miles Jupp is back with his latest tour. Coming to Glasgow’s King’s Theatre on 8th May 2024.
Miles Jupp, stand up is now well known to us from his numerous appearances on radio and TV. Your young kids will know him as Acrhie from Balamory. But we know him for his performances in The Thick of It. As well as Gary: Tank Commander and Rev as well as numerous appearances on the panel show circuit.
Since Miles’ last tour finished at The London Palladium in 2017, he’s been in The Full Monty on Disney Plus. The Durrells and Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? on ITV, as well as a heap of episodes of Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Have I Got News For You. He’s made an award-winning radio series and he’s published a novel. But for Covid, he would have played a lead at the RSC. Hey ho. Nevertheless he’s done a play in the West End and played the Emperor of Austria and Europe in a Ridley Scott film.
Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato. Rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery. Obviously, one doesn’t wish to make a big deal of it. But the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room. So that’s exactly what he’s doing in his new show On I Bang – a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners.
