Legendary actor and globetrotter Michael Palin has announced today that he will embark on a 13 stop tour across the UK. Michael Palin in the Philippines will feature stories and behind the scenes anecdotes from his latest Channel 5 series.

Actor Michael Palin, known for Monty Python, The Death of Stalin as well as his acclaimed travel documentaries, has announced a brand-new solo tour coming in October. The tour will see Michael share first-hand stories from his latest Channel 5 series, taking audiences behind the scenes of his remarkable journey through one of the world’s most fascinating, politically charged and historically complex countries.

On the news of the tour, Michael Palin said, “I’m delighted to be taking Michael Palin in the Philippines on tour around the UK. Every journey leaves me with stories that never quite make it into the television programmes, and I always enjoy the chance to share those moments with a live audience.

Alongside the films and photographs from my travels, I’ll be talking about the remarkable people I met, the extraordinary places I visited and some of the unexpected adventures along the way. I hope audiences will feel as though they’ve travelled with me and perhaps leave seeing the Philippines in a completely new light.”
