Weird Al Yankovic is embarking on a four-date UK tour in 2023. Want tickets? Here’s how to get yours today.
Real name Alfred Matthew, the US musical-comedy star is best known for parody tracks like White and Nerdy, Amish Paradise and Fat — as well as a new feature film.
He’s amassed fans around the world thanks to his ability to turn popular songs into laugh-out-loud parodies and now, UK fans are getting a chance to see him live and in the flesh in 2023 as he departs on the interestingly titled Unfortunate Return of the Ill-Advised Vanity Tour.

Weird Al’s first taste of fame came as a child when, in 1976, South Carolina radio personality Dr Memento played his song Belvedere Cruisin’ after a young Weird Al passed it to him during a school visit.
More recently, Weird Al has been brought back into the spotlight by an off-beat largely fictional biopic film, which stars Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al. The RadioTimes.com team gave the film three stars in our full review of Weird: The Weird Al Yankovic Story.
