JON Richardson is checking his tyre pressures, cleaning his floor mats and putting an emergency packed lunch in the boot of his car in readiness to hit the road with his new touring show, Nidiot.

The British Comedy Award 2013 nominee and team captain on Channel 4’s 8 Out Of 10 Cats will play Leeds Grand Theatre on Thursday, June 5, for which tickets are on sale on 0844 848 2700 or at leedsgrandtheatre.com

In Nidiot, the perennially single and misanthropic Richardson is determined to become more easy-going for the sake of his friends and his future health, but can a leopard change its spots?

Or is this particular leopard doomed to be angry forever, after not being given a more uniform and symmetrical fur pattern?

Nidiot will reveal all.
