Iconic 2000s show Trigger Happy TV is set to mark 25 years since its debut with a return – this time on stage.

The hit series saw Dom Joly engage in a series of public pranks – most famously the man with a giant mobile shouting "HELLO!". Originally running on Channel 4 between 2000 and 2003, the show was revived between 2016 and 2017 for a series of All4 shorts.

It has now been announced that the show will return for a four-date UK tour later this year, hitting stops in Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and London – with plenty of "chaos" promised.
