David Baddiel's Fame: Not the Musical will play a four-week season at the Menier Chocolate Factory, starting 29 April 2014.

The show, which sold out at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year and at the Southbank Centre recently, is Baddiel's first full stand up show in 15 years.

A look back on his own personal encounters with fame, the show sees Baddiel share anecdotes from his "new lad," "rock'n'roller," and "token Jew" years.

The comic is currently adapting his 2010 film The Infidel, which he wrote and produced, into a stage musical.
