Brian Butterfield is going on tour

Peter Serafinowicz's alter-ego announces 12 UK dates

Peter Serafinowicz’s hapless businessman alter-ego Brian Butterfield is going on tour.

The character has announced 12 dates in his Placeholder Name Tour around the UK in September and October this year.

According to the blurbs:’"Brian Butterfield makes his live stage debut, imparting all of his business knowledge from his decades spent within the business world working as everything from Lord Mayor's croupier to circus horse dentist.

‘Brian believes that every failure is just an opportunity to learn a new lesson. Having opened, and closed, several businesses, Brian has learnt over 1000 lessons. And most importantly, the secrets to success. NOW, Brian is ready to share them ALL to the biggest audiences in the country. This is a once in lifetime opportunity (for Brian). CALL NOW!’

Brian Butterfield: Placeholder Name Tour will begin in Exeter on September 11. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday.

His tour poster also lists a performance on ‘September 31’ at New York’s 20,000-seater Madison Square Garden, marked as ‘sold out’, as well as some dubious looking five-star reviews:
