An award-winning comedian, writer, playwright and lyricist, Ben Elton was brought up in South-East London before studying drama in Manchester. A product of the thriving alternative comedy scene of the 1980s, he penned such legendary series as The Young Ones, Blackadder and The Thin Blue Line.
Throughout the years, Elton has co-hosted the Nelson Mandela Celebration, hosted the Brit Awards and the Royal Variety Show – always using his own material. On top of acclaimed stand-up shows, Elton has lent his talents to theatrical productions including Silly Cow, We Will Rock You and more.
On his latest tour, Elton says: “Since my last live tour a whole new existential threat has emerged to threaten humanity! Apparently, Artificial Intelligence is going to destroy us all! Well, I reckon our real problem isn’t Artificial Intelligence it’s good old-fashioned Authentic Stupidity! Forget AI! It’s AS we need to be worrying about!”
Ben Elton’s ‘Authentic Stupidity’ tour will see him appear at venues in York, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Nottingham, Birmingham, Sheffield, Cambridge, Bristol, Leeds, Swindon, Cardiff, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Portsmouth, Belfast, Dublin, Liverpool, Leicester, Bath, Brighton, London and more.
