What can we expect from the Alan Partridge tour?

The man behind the iconic Alan Partridge, Steve Coogan, spoke on his upcoming performances and what fans can expect from the ‘Stratagem’ tour.

He said: “Alan will be trying to impart his accumulated wisdom and put it into some form that has cogency, so that he can ‘help’ other people.

“It’s an all-encompassing, almost cripplingly broad attempt to cover all potential personal problems that people might have in processing the modern world, so Alan helps people navigate the rocky waters of gender, equality, diversity, sexual identity.

He added: “Whatever the most precarious and dangerous landscapes that are out there, we’ll put Alan’s walking bits on and let him stomp all over them.”
