The laugh-a-minute tour will be heading to Reading’s South Street Arts Centre December 14 and December 15.
His main aim is to cheer us up, for a moment, and try to help us forget what a mess the world finds itself in right now.
Brexit. Trump. No more Mary Berry on the Great British Bake Off. Things are looking bleak, so wouldn’t it be better to just forget all about it?
Comic maestro Stephen K Amos might not be able to provide bread to the hungry masses, but no one else is going to put on a better circus

The Age Melbourne said: “Laughs came thick and fast throughout…don’t miss it.”
After all, when Ancient Rome needed to distract itself from politics, a few solutions were suggested, but none hit the spot quite like the simple idea of giving the people cheap food and plentiful entertainment – ‘panem et circenses’ or ‘bread and circuses’.
