FESTIVAL favourite and lifetime Simpsons fan Yianni Agisilaou will be coming to Bromsgrove's Artrix this December.

Following critically acclaimed, total sell-out runs at Edinburgh, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth comedy festivals, Yianni will be coming to the Artrix as part of a tour with The Simpsons Taught Me Everything I Know.

A love letter to the world’s greatest TV show, Yianni shares stories, facts, impersonations and more to form a hilarious and cromulent look at a lifetime spent quoting, referencing and learning from the Simpsons.

He tells how the show has embiggened his life, and how he almost became the actual real life replacement voice for Mr Burns and Smithers.

Speaking to the Advertiser the comedian said: "I'm definitely a Simpsons nut, but a particular nut.

"People presume I must have seen every episode but I really haven't. Of the ones I have seen, mostly the older ones, I've probably seen some of them 50 times. Most of the material in the show is from those - things like Mr Plow or the monorail. I want people to get the jokes.

"People ask if I ever get bored of The Simpsons - I say if I haven't in the first 28 years then I'm not going to get bored by the 29th year.

"I have a lifetime love for the show. It's funny as well as highly intelligent."

On where the idea for the show came from Yianni said: "It started out that I wanted to do a show about pop culture, how it's a shared phenomenon and that was going to be based around The Simpsons. It kind of went from there.

"I've been doing it since January last year, with other things in between, and I still love it. Otherwise I wouldn't do it."

Whether you’re a Simpsons geek, an everyday fan, or (somehow) a total Simpsons novice, the show promises to be fun-diddly-un.

The Simpsons Taught Me Everything I Know, the last show of the tour, is on Friday, December 8.

Yianni said: "To mark the occasion I'm going to burn all my Krusty brand merchandise. Or, just have a really good show and go out on a high."

The comedian is in high demand as a headliner worldwide and a favourite at the Edinburgh and Melbourne comedy festivals, where he's won (among other things) the Raw Comedy Best Act Award, Amused Moose Laughter Award and Three Weeks Editor's Award, and is the creator of the cult Comedy Against Humanity.

He's been seen on Comedy Central's The World Stands Up and was recently the support act on Micky Flanagan's stadium-filling Out Out tour.
