...but you'll need to buy tickets to his newly announced tour to find out what it is

Rhys James has announced a 40-date stand-up tour for 2026 and 2027.

The blurb for the show, Chop Logic, claims that the comedian has made a discovery that could fix everything, adding: ‘It’s been staring him in the face the whole time, in a mirror held behind his head. If he can ignore his own problems for long enough, he might just be able to solve yours.’

James himself said: ‘It’s been three years since I last did a tour and frankly I didn’t know if I would ever again. But then I accidentally left a stool sample on a train and came up with a way to fix the whole country, and those aren’t the sorts of things you can just keep to yourself.’

The comic is the  sole weekly series regular on TLC’s rebooted Mock The Week, which has just been commissioned for a second series.

His previous show Spilt Milk toured across more than 70 dates, before being released as a special and as a debut DVD, which sold out completely in just 90 minutes – but there was only one copy.

 Chop Logic starts at the Glee Club in Cardiff on September 10 with dates currently stretching to May 2027. Tickets go on sale at 11am tomorrow.
