A SOCIAL media star extended his UK tour due to high demand.

Comedian and Tik Tok star Tom Houghton added an extra 13 dates throughout June and July, following the success of his tour Absolute Shambles.

He will perform at the Queen's Hall in Hexham on June 15.

Tom also featured on the Netflix series The Circle and supported Milton Jones on his stand-up tour.

Having amassed a loyal fan base of more than a quarter of a million followers, the social media sensation is delving even deeper into his ludicrous life as he tries to smarten up the not-so-honourable aspects of himself.

Consider the pitfalls of online celebrity, the perils of post-palace living and that in an age where everyone is so obsessed with the veneer of virtual contentment, maybe it takes crashing back down to reality to discover where happiness truly lies.

Tom has stormed the comedy circuit with his hilarious stories and sharp-eyed silver spoon observations for the past five years, whether it is about growing up with a dad who is the ex-chief of defence staff, living in the Tower of London or lifting the lid on the all-boys boarding school environment.

Tom said: “After such an incredible time on my first tour, I’m over the moon to be heading out on my second. With twice as many venues and bigger rooms, the reaction has been incredible so far. So many tickets sold in the first week. I am ready to bring a show that is packed with wall-to-wall laughs, but also lets the audience in even further. This will be a more personal, slightly darker show, but without sacrificing the belly laughs.”
