THE UK’s biggest- selling stand-up comic is coming to Sussex.

Michael McIntyre, who has had several chart- topping comedy DVDs, will play the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne on July 2.

The intimate show is ahead of his hotly anticipated tour later in the year. Tickets, priced at £32, go on sale from 10am today.

The gig will act as a warm-up for the comedian’s forthcoming UK and Ireland tour, Happy and Glorious. His previous tour, Showtime, was the biggest-selling comedy tour in the world in
2012.

He played to more than 640,000 people including a record- breaking ten-night residency at London’s O2 Arena – matching pop-superstar Rihanna’s 2011 record.
