Comedy fans in Cheltenham are in for a treat this August and September 2025, with resident comic Dom Joly promising local audiences a sneak preview of his forthcoming Trigger Happy TV 25th anniversary tour.
With three sellout shows already under his belt, Dom has announced the next two SpeakeaZy events will take place on Friday 8 August and Thursday 11 September 2025 — with a special Trigger Happy TV theme.
Trigger Happy TV shot Dom to fame across the world, with the show being aired in over 80 countries and winning the Silver Rose of Montreux. It has its 25th anniversary in 2025 and sees Dom head out on tour this October 2025 to celebrate the milestone, with dates in Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and London.
But local fans will have the chance to see exclusive content ahead of the tour at his next two events at The Steam & Whistle.
Dom said: 'I set out to curate Dom Joly’s SpeakeaZy to host big name guests like Jenny Eclair alongside emerging new talent like the extraordinary Tom A Smith, whom Elton John described as 'a massive star for the future'. I want to support a wide range of acts, both in content and in age and across the whole spectrum of show business.
'What with this being the 25th anniversary of Trigger Happy TV, it’s a massively busy year for me, but for the next couple of shows prior to my UK tour I thought it might be fun to give Cheltenham at our SpeakeaZy a very special sneak peak of Trigger Happy, a trip down memory lane and some exclusive content from the forthcoming shows on my 25th Anniversary Trigger Happy UK tour.
'So, the August and September SpeakeaZys will have a decidedly Trigger Happy TV theme to them and as news builds outside of Cheltenham about this incredibly popular night, more names are set to join me on stage. We’ve moved the August date from a usual Thursday to a Friday to fit in with a particular name! But as always, you’ll have to wait to find out on the night.'
Tickets to the August and September SpeakeaZy dates go on sale at 1pm on Wednesday 18 June 2025 and are available direct from Dom Joly's website.
