Dom Joly at Strode Theatre
WRITER, broadcaster and comedian Dom Joly, best known as the creator of Trigger Happy TV, is back on the road with his one-man theatre tour, giving fans a rare opportunity to see him live. Dom will be talking about his exploits at Strode Theatre on Friday, May 13th as a serial globe-trotting and seeker of dangerous travel spots when he returns to the road to complete his “Dom Joly’s Holiday Snaps” tour. He’s playing more than 50 dates across the UK, including Strode in 2022 on a mammoth tour running from February to November. From North Korea to Chernobyl, Dom has visited some of the most unusual places on the planet – including, of course, the Australian bush in the tenth series of hit TV show I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here. He famously attended school with Osama Bin Laden and, armed with a trusty Powerpoint, fans can expect his holiday snaps to serve up a tantalising mix of comedy and a sense of danger. The best-selling author will meet fans after the show to sign copies of his latest book, The Hezbollah Hiking Club. Dom said: “I’ve got this collection of weird holiday snaps. And I know there’s that cliché that ‘nobody wants to see anybody else’s holiday snaps’. Well, my holiday snaps are really good. And I’ve got some really good stories with them. “The theme is travel. The three things I’ll be showing will be my own holiday snaps, holiday snaps from TV shows and

holiday snaps from my books. Strode Theatre’s manager, Fares K Moussa, said: “It’s great that Dom will be joining us at Strode Theatre, so that communities in and around mid-Somerset will have an opportunity to see this fun and fascinating show. “We look forward to welcoming him and other great artists over the coming months, as we all ease back into some form of normality.”
