Miles Jupp: on I Bang - The Forum

The award nominated (Chortle) On I Bang has been touring the UK and Ireland for over 120 dates since January 2024 .

Miles’s recent television credits include The Full Monty on Disney+, The Durrells, Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? And Belgravia: The Next Chapter on ITV, as well as a heap of episodes of Frankie Boyle’s New World Order and Have I Got News For You.

He’s made an award-winning radio series, he’s published a novel and he’s played the Emperor of Austria and Europe in Ridley Scott’s Napoleon

Yet one sunny day in the middle of all this, he suddenly suffered a brain seizure. This led to the discovery of a tumour the size of a cherry tomato, and a rather pressing need to undergo major neurosurgery. Obviously, one doesn’t wish to make a big deal of it, but the experience has left him with a story to tell and a few things that he’d like to share with the room. So that’s exactly what he’s doing in his new show On I Bang - a tale about surprise, fear, luck, love and qualified medical practitioners.
