Simon Munnery is going to wear a suit for his first ever major UK tour. Despite being in the business for twenty years and having won or been nominated for all the most prestigious awards going, he now finds that his chosen career is a serious commercial business and he’s going to have to knuckle down and set off to work nice and early to forty dates throughout the UK including a week at London’s Soho Theatre. Simon is now working for himself and knows that without a vast support system of agents, managers, stylists, publicists, make-up artists and dog-walkers that he’s been used to the life of a stand-up comedian can be tough.
