Following his intimate shows last year in the Academy and Olympia Theatre, Michael McIntyre is taking things up a notch, with Dublin and Belfast stadium gigs planned for 2012.

Already scheduled to play two sold-out Dublin dates at the O2 on November 16 & 17, 2012, a further two have just been announced due to demand.

You can now catch McIntyre at the O2 on November 18 & 19 next year, with tickets priced at €45 including booking fee. They go on sale this Friday November 11 at 9am.

It's all part of the Comedy Roadshow and Britain’s Got Talent star's return to the road for his third and biggest Irish and UK tour to date.

Michael McIntyre’s Live & Laughing and Hello Wembley have sold over 2,500,000 DVDs. A third stand-up DVD of the tour will be available in mid-November 2012.

These will be part of McIntyre's biggest stadium tour to date - he'll be on the road from August to December 2012. Irish stop-offs all include shows at the Belfast Odyssey on October 19 & 20.
