Most people will know this particular northern funnyman via his various TV appearances, being a regular team captain on Would I Lie To You? as well as starring in oh-so-British-but-actually-not-half-bad sitcom Not Going Out, alongside fellow comedian Tim Vine.

He is also an award winning stand up though when he is not goofing it up on the gogglebox, and he hits the road with his new show for the aptly named Hit The Road Mack. It is his first in four years and features his trademark gag-laden stories and laugh-out-loud take on the world.
