The actor, and host of the Great British Sewing Bee, will be leading the cast of Kool Story Bro, an improv performance which takes audience anecdotes and spins them into full-length comedy scenes.

The show previously sold out in Edinburgh, London and Brighton and is now heading off to the likes of Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds and Liverpool with a whole new cast of all-star comedians.

Joining Bynoe on stage are Starstruck actors Lola-Rose Maxwell and Nic Sampson, After Life's Graham Dickson, Big Boys’ Robert Gilbert, Mock The Week’s Emily Lloyd-Saini, Shadow and Bone’s Anna Leong Brophy, and Taskmaster’s Emma Sidi, with more to be announced soon.

Each gig will also feature a surprise celebrity host. In the first run of shows, this included Lily Allen, Jamie Demetriou, Mo Gilligan, Charlotte Ritchie and Mathew Baynton.

In the show's press release, Bynoe said: "I've been trying to push the slogan Make Improv Kool Again but apparently that "doesn't have a ring to it."

"I'm very excited to take Kool Story Bro on tour around the country and bring the audience's stories to life, joined by the best improvisers on the world and some huge special guest hosts from the world of TV.

"I'm also just really looking forward to sleeping in different Premier Inn's. Lenny Henry makes it look proper comfortable.”
