4th September 2020 – BAFTA-winning comedian Iain Stirling (Love Island, Taskmaster) has rescheduled the Autumn leg of his Failing Upwards stand-up tour to run from 1st October through to the 19th November 2021 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The 54-date tour begins with the rescheduled Spring leg on the 1st March 2021. Two shows will be recorded for Iain’s previously announced Amazon Prime Video Special at the original hometown venue Edinburgh King’s Theatre on the 28th March, whilst a free show for NHS workers at the Alexandra Palace Theatre has moved to the 14th November 2021.
Iain Stirling said: “I’m really gutted that I won’t be seeing you this year but please stay safe and I can’t wait to get back on tour in 2021″
Tickets for Iain’s rescheduled tour dates are available at 10am today at iaindoesjokes.com
Iain’s biggest stand-up tour to date with brand-new show Failing Upwards will see him explore topics including his inability to function in the most basic of public settings, social media’s constant pressure to “live your best life” and that one time a man stole his shoes.

Following his success on Love Island, Iain has appeared in series 8 of Taskmaster (Dave) and hosted four series of CelebAbilitIy (ITV2).

An Edinburgh Festival Fringe favourite, Iain has performed five sold-out and critically-acclaimed shows, including U OK Hun? X (2017) which sold out the entire Edinburgh Fringe run in advance.
He released his first book about millennials, Not F*cking Ready To Adult, through HarperCollins in May 2018, along with a companion podcast of the same name.
