Ben Elton live at Princess Theatre Torquay

Following the huge success of his critically acclaimed sold-out UK tour in 2019, Ben Elton is back on the road.

The world has changed a lot since Ben last toured five years ago - a whole new existential threat has emerged to challenge our very existence: Artificial Intelligence.

It’s going to render all human life meaningless, but Ben is here to warn you that AI is not the greatest threat that we face; it’s Authentic Stupidity!

Ben said: “The verdict’s in! Humanity is thick! Homo halfwit. The idiot branch of the Ape family!

We need signs to tell us to step off escalators, we elect gibbering fools to lead us and now we’ve invented Artificial Intelligence which is going to replace us!

I’ve spent 45 years in comedy exploring the outer limits of human idiocy and my mission has never been more timely.

Forget AI! It’s AS we need to be worrying about!”

Ben Elton’s multi-award-winning career spans over four decades and includes seminal and groundbreaking television shows.
