About Richard Ayoade
Richard Ayoade has become a comedy style all his own. Solidifying his bona fides across a varied career, including The IT Crowd, directing offbeat indie hits like Submarine and The Double, to a storied appearance on Last One Laughing, his sharp and ultra-dry humour has defined his work. To celebrate his new book of musings and questions, from the profound to the minuscule, his new live tour is a characteristically singular piece of comedy.
