ALAN Davies has included Dorset among his list of added dates for his Little Victories tour later this year.

He will take the show to Bournemouth Pavilion on Saturday November 28.

His previous show, Life Is Pain – his first UK tour in over a decade - was critically acclaimed in Australia, New Zealand and across the UK and due to unprecedented public demand, was extended twice running for almost eighteen months culminating in the release of a DVD of the show filmed at London’s iconic Apollo Hammersmith.

Alan Davies – probably best known as the much-loved resident dunderhead on QI or the star of iconic television series Jonathan Creek - began his career in stand-up comedy in 1988 and was runner-up in the City Limits New Act of the Year contest 1989.

He was named Time Out Best Young Comic in 1991.

In 1994 he won an Edinburgh Festival Critics Award for Comedy and a Perrier Award Nomination and the show was released on VHS as Live At The Lyric.

The following year he appeared at the Montreal, Melbourne and Auckland Comedy Festivals and was nominated for a British Comedy Award as Best Stand-Up Comedian.

In 1996 he took the eponymous role of Jonathan Creek, written by David Renwick.

His 1998 show, Urban Trauma ran at the Duchess Theatre before touring the UK and was recorded for a DVD and shown on BBC1 with a documentary series about the tour, Stand-Up with Alan Davies.

In 2001 Alan took the role of Bob in Russel T.Davies’ Bob & Rose for which he was awarded Best Actor in a Drama at the Monte Carlo Television Awards.

Alan starred in a new series of Jonathan Creek in 2014 and recorded a new series of QI and the second series of his hugely popular show As Yet Untitled (Dave).
