The stars of a popular BBC television series are coming to the Watford Colosseum as part of a new tour.

An Evening with The Fast Show will take place at the Rickmansworth Road venue on February 8, with tickets going on sale on Friday (September 9).

The sketch show ran from 1994 to 1997 and starred Paul Whitehouse, Charlie Higson and Simon Day.

Ahead of the new tour, Higson said: "Who’d have thought it – over 30 years later and we’re still going strong. We had so much fun being back out on the road that we’ve decided to do it all over again.“

The Colosseum's website says: "The cast will chat together about how it all began, how they made the TV show, and created the characters and the fun they had doing it.

"This will be interspersed with performances of some of their best-loved sketches, monologues and songs, with on-screen inserts and a moment to remember their former collaborator, the late, great Caroline Aherne."

It is the latest show announced for the relaunched venue after its successful return last summer.

Ocean Colour Scene were the first act to play at the new-look Colosseum, while Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr and Enter Shikari have also performed over the last year.
