Richard Ayoade presents Afterthoughts, an evening of reflections on his book, at De Montfort Hall in Leicester on 17 October 2026. The comedian and actor discusses insights from his writing and shares experiences from his career in film and television. Tickets start from £10.00.
Join BAFTA-winning actor, comedian, director, and writer Richard Ayoade for an evening of reflections as he shares insights from his latest book, Afterthoughts, or Some Pistachios Won't Open: Wisdom for the Unreflective.
Partially recognisable for being in The IT Crowd, his acclaimed films Submarine and The Double, he has also hosted TV landfill like Travel Man and The Crystal Maze, and lent his nasal voice to The Boxtrolls, Early Man, Soul and The Bad Guys.
But you may well know him best for his role as photographer in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers in which he delivered the iconic line: "Please, Mer Sellers, can I get a shot of you and your mum?"
