A star of Taskmaster has announced extra dates for a UK tour which will bring him to Ipswich next year. 

The Horne Section is a six-headed band including five musicians and one non-musical stand-up comedian, Alex Horne. 

Mr Horne is best known for creating and co-hosting the BAFTA award winning series Taskmaster, a TV series which sees five contestants compete in strange challenges in order to win back forfeited items. 

The Horne Section also has its own series on Channel 4 as well as a podcast which has topped the charts on iTunes.

The band has also regularly appeared in Dictionary Corner on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and is the only band to host Never Mind The Buzzcocks. 

The band has added 2025 dates for their current The Horne Section's Hit Show tour which will come to the Ipswich Regent on Wednesday, March 12. 

Audiences can expect even more comedy, songs, enthusiastic dancing and "a lot of mucking about". 

Tickets for the show will go on sale at 10am on Friday, October 4.
