Richard Ayoade will take his Afterthoughts show across the UK this summer.

The BAFTA-winning actor, comedian, director and writer will reflect on insights from his latest book, Afterthoughts or Some Pistachios Won't Open: Wisdom for the Unreflective, at theatres in Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Canterbury, Guildford, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Bristol, Cambridge, London, Aylesbury and York between June 1 and 24. A description of the show reads:

Now, in the midst of some self-inflicted financial difficulty, he turns to the stage, inviting you to explore over 500 of his colossal notions. Thoughts like… 

Where’s the box to tick if you ARE a robot? 

If, when one door shuts, another door opens, there's something wrong with your doors. They shouldn't be doing that. 

TV detectives need a gimmick. Mine would be not caring who did it. 

Afterthoughts goes beyond rumination, past pondering, probing further than ever before. Drawing from a deeply private pool of questions—a reservoir so refreshing you may never need to think again. 

Tickets go on general sale at 10am tomorrow (March 27).
