His last tour here was called Life is Pain but it seems Alan Davies will be in a bit of a better mood when he visits again in July.
The British comedian and star of television shows QI and Jonathan Creek will perform 11 shows here in July and August as part of his much more optimistically titled Little Victories tour.
When he was last here in 2013, Davies had resurrected his stand-up career after a 10-year break to work on his various television commitments.
At the time, he told the Herald he had "lost my comedy mojo" for performing stand-up.
"I think I'd fallen out of love with it really, I didn't have the drive to do it. I didn't enjoy touring by myself. I used to enjoy all the camaraderie of the other comedians in the clubs and stuff. I kind of fell out of love with it and I was doing other things."
