Chris McCausland is cashing in on his Strictly Come Dancing success by extending his new stand-up tour.
The comedian, 47, has announced he’s added a whopping 100 dates. New show Yonks kicks off in January and will now run until April 2026.
Gigs will be at iconic venues including Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London. Demand for tickets has gone through the roof since Chris signed up for Strictly.
Millions of viewers have been amazed by how brilliant his footwork is despite him being blind.
Chris is so popular he has become the bookies’ favourite to win the series.
The star is even being tipped to lift the Glitterball despite being bottom of the leaderboard in last weekend’s show.

BoyleSports is offering odds of 2/5 that he’ll pull it off at the final in December.
Its spokesman Brian O’Keeffe said: “It may have been one of Chris McCausland’s worst dances of the series according to the judges, but that hasn’t stopped armchair experts and plenty of punters making him a red-hot favourite to lift the Glitterball.”

It comes as eagle-eyed Strictly Come Dancing enthusiasts reckon Dianne Buswell’s got her dancing shoes at the exit door post-this series.
The 35-year-old dance floor dynamo, who is currently tripping the light fantastic with Chris and has been on the show since 2017, is tipped off to lift the Glitterball trophy.
A social media sleuth suggested: “I would say Dianne might leave this year, especially if she wins.”
Another chimed in: “Now that you’ve said it, it does seem likely that this could be Dianne’s last hurrah. Not only because of her massively popular partnership with Chris but also because she’s been getting a lot of prominent roles in the pro numbers.”
Watch it on Saturday at 6.30pm on BBC One.
