Some of the UK’s top alternative stand-up comedians are heading to the Costa del Sol for a series of festive shows in the lead up to Christmas. 

Organised by Stand-Up Comedy Spain, the shows will feature British comedian Dave Thompson, the actor who was fired from playing Tinky Winky in the Teletubbies series.

The comedian, described by Timeout Magazine as “the weirdest dude on the face of the earth”, has been busy with his acting career this year, appearing in The Munsters, The Last Kingdom and an episode of The Continental.
