AN iconic comedy show is making a major comeback 30 years after the debut of its very first episode.

Classic hit The Fast Show first made a comeback earlier this year and thanks to its runaway success, it won’t be long until fans can tune in once more.

However, like the first reunion, it won’t be happening on the TV screens.

Instead, the cast will be taking to the stage for yet another theatre tour.

Titled An Evening with The Fast Show, fans will be able to see the show’s cast in action next November when the tour hits venues across the UK.

It will include two nights at the iconic London Palladium with fans expected to pack out the venue both nights.

The show’s co-creators Charlie Higson and Paul Whitehouse
will reunite with Simon Day, John Thomson, Arabella Weir and Mark Williams once again for the tour which will provide a clear behind-the-scenes insight into some of their favourite cast and characters from the programme.

As well as that, the show’s trademark catchphrases and sayings will come alive on-stage once again.

In between discussions about the TV show between the cast, fans can expect to see their best-loved sketches, monologues and songs.

A tribute will also be paid to Caroline Aherne following her tragic passing.

Poking fun at the tour reprisal, Charlie Higson said: “The Fast Show was all about repetition, catchphrases and familiar
characters.

“So we’re going to repeat our last tour with the same catchphrases and characters. Hopefully audiences will believe it’s all new material.”

The quick-paced BBC comedy, which ran from 1994 to 1997, with specials in 2000 and 2014, featured more than 80 characters who made more than one appearance. The majority of them also featured on two huge live tours.

The Fast Show not only gave a platform to showcase the best in British comedy, including the late Caroline Aherne, but also A-listers such as movie star Johnny Depp, Robbie Williams — and a young Amy Winehouse.

Hollywood star Johnny appeared in a 2000 Suit You sketch as a customer of over-familiar tailors Ken and Kenneth, played by Paul and Mark.

Robbie featured in a special 2001 Comic Relief skit alongside Ted and Ralph — an older worker and a posh aristocrat secretly in love with him.

A 14-year-old Amy Winehouse featured in a 1997 Competitive Dad sketch alongside Simon and on-screen son Toby.

But following a hand injury, he was forced out but now returns on January 18 on DAZN PPV against ex-UFC star Darren Till.

Promoter Kalle Sauerland headed up the negotiations to bring Fury back to Misfits – which homes to crossover-style bouts.

And there was even speculation he could rematch KSI next.

Sauerland revealed Till was always the opponent for Fury’s return but admitted talk for a KSI rematch has taken place.

He told SunSport: “We’ve discussed that.

“This one was never the intention, I saw some rumours around it but never discussed the idea was always Tommy Fury versus Darren Till and that’s more or less it.

“That fight (KSI vs Fury rematch) can happen down the road but at the same time, I never look past a mega-fight.”

KSI has also not returned since defeat to Fury, his first loss in the ring.

He was due to fight 7-0 YouTuber Slim Albaher, 30, and former MMA fighter Anthony Taylor, 34, in a two-on-one handicap bout.

But KSI was also forced out with a hand injury but is now eyeing a return in the first quarter of 2025.

Sauerland added: “It will be early part of next year. Few weeks off an announcement.

“There’s different types of opponents in the running. Nobody without a combat sports background.

“Sorry I can’t give you more clues than that.”
