This year ‘the most renowned sketch troupe of them all’ (The Independent) will again be embarking on another exceptional world tour, performing to over twenty thousand people across two continents. This year's tour will travel to London, Edinburgh, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cambridge, and many more locations. The Cambridge Footlights’ Tour Show is an hourlong sketch comedy show written and performed by five of the best up-and-coming Cambridge comedians. This year, in "The Search Continues," the performers are traveling the UK to find their sixth member in the audience of one of their shows. How will they find their newest member? By showing off their best sketches, of course!
