Comedian Jason Byrne is hitting the road with his new UK autumn tour 20 Years a Clown.

The new stand-up tour marks Byrne's 20th year working the comedy circuit, and will begin on October 1 in Colchester, reported Digital Spy.

The comedian will also play dates in places such as Belfast, Cambridge, Canterbury, Huddersfield and Glasgow, before finishing in London's Leicester Square Theatre.

Byrne said: "I've been doing the comedy circuit for 20 years and I enjoy it more than ever.

"I'm really looking forward to getting back out on the road; this show will be more energetic and more fun than ever before!"
 

Byrne is currently a co-presenter of Sky1's woodland gameshow "Wild Things" alongside Kate Humble.
