Comic to hit the road off the back of his Taskmaster appearance

Andy Zaltzman has announced his biggest tour yet – on the back of the news he will appear in the next series of Taskmaster.

The comic will play 46 dates of his new show, The Zaltgeist, across UK and Ireland between November 2024 and April 2025.

Zaltzman is also known for Radio 4’s The News Quiz, which he has hosted since 2020, the satirical podcast The Bugle, which he launched with John Oliver, and as the statistician Test Match Special.

The description of the new tour reads: ‘With the third millennium almost 2.5 per cent complete, The Zaltgeist sees one of the UK's leading satirical comedians assess the state of Planet Earth and its most famous and controversial species – the human race. Andy will attempt to concoct vaguely plausible answers to perennial questions such as What?, Who?, Where?, and above all Why?  He will also try to harness the unharnessable power of technology to find solutions for the world's various problems and ailments, as requested by the audiences at each show.’

Tickets for the tour go on general sale at 10am on Friday.
