Comedian Rosie Holt is launching a new nationwide tour with her latest satirical show.
The Illegal Aliens Have Landed! will see Holt return to the stage with her popular MP character alongside a cast of fresh personas, blending political satire with science fiction in a sharp hour of comedy.
Ms Holt, winner of the Chortle Social Media Award 2022 and a BPG Emerging Creator nominee, is known for her viral online videos and pointed takes on politics.
A spokesperson for her production company said: "Award-winning comedian and writer Rosie Holt is back touring this autumn with her brand-new show, The Illegal Aliens Have Landed! Revisiting her much-loved MP alter ego alongside a host of new characters, Holt blurs the line between politics and entertainment in a sharply observed new hour."
The show imagines an alien invasion and asks whether the government would respond with calm leadership or insist it is "waiting for the facts" while extra terrestrials abduct and eat the British public.
Ms Holt has built a large following for her satirical videos since the pandemic, gathering more than nine million views for her work online.
Her television and radio credits include appearances on Channel 4’s The Last Leg, Sky Max’s The Russell Howard Hour, BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz, and Sky News’ The Wrap.
She has previously toured two live shows, That’s Politainment! in 2024 and The Woman’s Hour in 2023, both inspired by her online characters.
Ms Holt has also performed at Soho Theatre, including a special election night performance in 2024.
Her new tour follows a run at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe and includes 28 dates across the UK.
The tour opens at Fairfield Social Club in Manchester on October 8.
Holt’s comedy explores whether satire can keep pace with reality or simply mirror it as events unfold.
A small number of tickets have been reserved for a reader competition.
