“His anecdotes are well-crafted and peppered with smart, self-deprecating humour… Gamble is not short of gusto, pumping every rant full of bracing bursts of physical humour…” ★★★★

Bruce Dessau, The Evening Standard

“…a consummate comedian. Slick delivery, efficient gag writing, great rapport with the audience.”

Mark Wareham, Mail on Sunday

Award-winning comedian, co-host of the chart-topping Off Menu podcast, judge on BBC2’s Great British Menu, Taskmaster champion, and host of both Taskmaster: The Podcast and The Traitors: Uncloaked, Ed Gamble is set to embark on his highly anticipated first-ever international tour – Ed Gamble Live. Kicking off in autumn 2025, the tour will see Gamble perform across major European and US cities.  Highlights include November shows in Lisbon, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Bergan, Copenhagen, Oslo and Gibraltar followed by a trip across the Atlantic for a special run of shows in Los Angeles and New York in February 2026.  This will follow Ed taking Hot Diggity Dog across Australia and New Zealand over the summer, playing in cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.

Ed said, “For the first time ever, I’m heading back on tour around Europe and America in 2025/26. It will be all my favourite humour, with my classic ranting, raving and spluttering but I’m doing fine mentally. Promise. I’d love it if you came along. It’s your chance to be part of comedy history (it will be comedy and once it’s over it will be in the past).”

Tickets go on pre-sale at 10am on 8^th May and general sale at 10am on 9^th May via www.edgamble.co.uk.  Full dates and tickets at www.edgamble.co.uk.
