Comedian Jason Byrne coming to Wrexham this November
The tour will follow a run at this year's Edinburgh Festival and promises "a night of beautiful, fluffy mayhem" as Mr Byrne returns to the stage with his trademark high-energy style.
Mr Byrne said: "I'm beyond excited to take Head in the Clouds on tour.
"This show is packed with all the madness and magic my chaotic brain can conjure up.
"Get ready for a hilarious storm of nonsense.
"See you there."
Known for his spontaneous audience interaction and energy, Mr Byrne has built a reputation as an unpredictable and entertaining comic.
His career highlights include winning the Sony Radio Gold Award for his Radio 2 show, as well as hosting Jason Byrne's Snaptastic Show on Ireland's TV3 and co-presenting Wild Things on Sky One.
He has also appeared on Amazon's Last One Laughing, The Graham Norton Show, Live at the Apollo, The Royal Variety Performance, and The John Bishop Christmas Show.
A favourite with audiences in Australia and New Zealand, Mr Byrne has featured on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival galas, The Great Debate, and New Zealand's 7Days.
He has also published two memoirs: Adventures of a Wonky Eyed Boy: The Short Arse Years, and Memoirs of a Wonky-eyed Man: The Dad-knows-Best-Years, the latter of which pays tribute to his father and their close relationship.
Mr Byrne's live performances have earned widespread critical acclaim.
The Times described him as the "outright king of live comedy," while the Evening Standard called him "unmissable."
Chortle praised him as "full on, double-up, gasping-foroxygen hilarious," and Metro wrote that his shows deliver "an hour of stand-up so joyous the clinically depressed should get it on prescription."

Rylan Clark admits 'I've been to rock bottom' as he shares divorce 'regret'
Rylan Clark has admitted he has been to 'rock bottom' following the breakdown of his marriage to Dan Neal, but has said that the split was the 'right thing' for the pair Rylan Clark confesses he 'reached rock bottom' after 'running himself into the ground' during his marriage breakdown. The 36-year-old presenter separated from former Big Brother star Dan Neal in 2021. Their six-year union came to an end after the former X Factor hopeful acknowledged he had been disloyal earlier in their romance. Whilst Rylan now recognises the separation was the "right thing" for both parties, he has been candid about his difficulties throughout the divorce. The ordeal forced the celebrity to take four months away from work and also resulted in a stint in hospital, reports the Manchester Evening News. Speaking on his How to Be In Love podcast, Rylan has revealed how he felt following the end of his relationship with Dan. He said: "I can safely say at this point that I have been to rock bottom, whatever you want to call it, and I know I'm never going to let myself go back there. But what that has equally done for me is make me cautious. "It's made me very, very frightened to open myself up to someone. It's made me frightened to trust someone, and I'm not as confident as my work persona in my personal life." Self-help guru Mel Robbins informed Rylan that reaching "rock bottom" is "a gift". She explained: "All a rock bottom moment is, is really quite a gift, you know it's a rock bottom moment because you hit something solid inside yourself, and that's a resolve to change. "A rock bottom moment is when the pain of staying where you are is actually harder than doing the work that you have been avoiding to get better. That's all that it is." Rylan, the Saturday afternoon host on Radio 2, expressed his "biggest regret" was how he handled his break up. He confessed: "I don't regret anything about my relationship finishing or anything like that, I've learnt a lot from that. "Just the way I handled it, I drove myself into the ground when really, I wish I looked back and went, 'Hang on, you're fine, this is fine'. I wish I'd never got as bad as I did because of my own way, I was thinking it's the end of the world." Previously, Rylan has spoken about feeling like a "failure" following his divorce. In a conversation with former Love Islander Tasha Ghouri, he revealed: "When I went through my divorce, I had a full-on breakdown because it wasn't just us. "It felt like it wasn't just us, even though it was just me and my ex. I felt that everyone's going to think this of me. Everyone's going to think, 'Oh look, his life isn't perfect. Oh look, he's failed like that.' I just felt like a failure." In his autobiography, TEN: The Decade That Changed My Future, the star opened up about preparing himself for a new relationship. He penned: "I got in a relationship quite young and just went with it. Now I know I'm my own person. I'm not going to settle for something that's not right. In a way it's been a bit of a gift. "I'm happy to have sex with someone and that's that, that's not a problem. But do I want more? Of course I want more. Am I going to enjoy myself on the way? Abso-f***ing-lutely."
