COMEDY favourite Harry Hill, right, is to embark on his first tour in five years with an 11-date show for children to coincide with the release of his new book Matt Millz Stands Up.

Harry Hill Kids Show: How To Be Funny – For Kids! tours from October 21 and will offer tips to young audiences who have a knack for comedy.

Harry says: “I can’t tell you how many letters I get from children asking me how you become a stand-up comic, which is partly why I wrote the Matt Millz books.

“Now I’m taking it to them direct. Bring your jokes and umbrella – there will be fun.”
