O Briain is no stranger to Ipswich, or Suffolk, as he has toured the county for both of his shows Voice of Reason and Crowd Tickler before. 

In 2017 the comedian stepped up to the Latitude Festival stage, performing for a room with "not an inch of floor space".

O Briain joins a line up of comedians coming to Ipswich Regent Theatre including Graham Norton and Sarah Millican.

Tickets go on sale soon, and the tour has yet to be announced on the venue's website.
