Authentic stupidity follows the comedian’s 2019 tour, which saw him make his first return to live comedy in 15 years.
Explaining the concept behind the new show, Mr Elton said: “Since my last live tour a whole new existential threat has emerged to threaten humanity.
“Apparently Artificial Intelligence is going to destroy us all!
“Well I reckon our real problem isn’t Artificial Intelligence it’s good old fashioned Authentic Stupidity! Forget AI! It’s AS we need to be worrying about!”
The two-and-a-half-hour show (including the interval) will begin at 7.30pm.
Fellow comedians Ian Stirling, Ed Gamble, Rob Beckett, and Russell Kane are also set to booked to play the venue.
