Miles Jupp: On I Bang

Since Miles’ last tour finished at The London Palladium in 2017, he’s been in
The Full Monty
on Disney Plus,
The Durrells
and
Why Didn’t They Ask Evans
? on ITV, as well as a heap of episodes of
Frankie Boyle’s New World Order
and
Have I Got News For You
. He’s made an award-winning radio series and he’s published a novel. But for Covid, he would have played a lead at the RSC. Hey ho. Nevertheless he’s done a play in the West End and played the Emperor of Austria and Europe in a Ridley Scott film.
Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery. Obviously, one doesn’t wish to make a big deal of it, but the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room. So that’s exactly what he’s doing in his new show
On I Bang
– a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners.
