‘Andy Parsons: Please #@!$ Off to Mars’ is on tour and arrives in Maidenhead on Saturday, September 27.

Parsons also wrote for Spitting Image and Noel's House Party among others.
Having come up partly through the Edinburgh Fringe as a duo, Parsons performed his first solo show at the Fringe in 2000 – and returned regularly until 2006.
He is a regular member of the Comedy Store topical show Cutting Edge and has performed internationally.
Parsons has had several solo stand-up tours, many sold-out, and won a Time Out award for comedy in 2002.
