Three popular TV comedians are heading to East Anglia as part of their UK tours in 2022.

You’ll recognise him from BBC1’s Have I Got News For You and his docu-series’ for BBC2 Reginald D Hunter’s Songs of the South and Reginald D Hunter’s Songs of The Border; but now for his all new UK live tour, Bombe Shuffleur, Reg applies his no holds barred approach to all the apocalyptic topics of the day: Climate Change, Mass Unemployment, Pandemics, The Rise of Global Fascism… You know, all those trivial, throwaway topics!
