Aziz Ansari to play the UK

London date for Parks & Rec star

Parks & Recreation star Aziz Ansari is heading to the UK for a date at London’s Hammersmith Apollo.

The stand-up – who was dubbed ‘the funniest man under 30’ by Rolling Stone magazine – is to play the 3,000-seat venue on June 15.

Coming two weeks after the end of his US tour, this will be his biggest British show to date. He performed a week of shows at the Soho Theatre in 2011.

Ansari has appeared in the movies Get Him To The Greek, alongside Russell Brand, and Funny People – and will soon be seen in This is the End opposite Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill.
