Fresh off being crowned Britain’s Got Talent’s 2022 winner, comedian Axel Blake is heading out on the road.

The BGT champ will perform around the UK for his new In Style tour, which will start in September 2022 and finish in April next year.

Axel will first land in Newcastle on 15th September, and in November, the funnyman will perform his observational act at London’s Eventim Apollo.

Sharing the exciting news on Twitter, Axel wrote: “Still Can’t Believe We’re Making This Happen. I’m Going On Tour - IN STYLE.”

Axel took home Britain’s Got Talent’s £250,000 prize and won a spot on stage at the Royal Variety Performance following the final on Sunday (5th June).

The presenter was up against opera singer Maxwell Thorpe, impressionist Ben Nickless, musicians Flintz & T4ylor, singer Tom Ball and ventriloquist Jamie Leahey.

Also making it to the final were dancers 5 Star Boys, poet Aneeshwar Kunchala, wild card act Amber and The Dancing Collies, singer Loren Allred and comedian Eva Abley.

After his big win, Axel was staggered by the result, and said on stage: “Words can’t even explain. I’m shaking. Thanks for voting for me, it means the world to me. Thank you to everyone at home, there aren’t even words to explain right now. I can’t believe it.”

Axel wowed the judges from the minute he stepped onto the stage at the auditions, and judge David Walliams told him that “a comedy superstar is born tonight.”

He then went on to become Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer act.

Axel's win now means that he will join the line up of the Royal Variety Performance , which will take place at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 1 December 2022.

Tickets for Axel Blake’s In Style Tour go on sale on 10th June here.
