Previewed by Helen O
Following on from his hugely successful 2022 ‘Unapologetic’ tour, enormously popular and familiar face from off the telly, Joel Dommett, most notably of The Masked Singer fame (in our house, anyway) joyfully returns to his stand-up roots with a brand-new show – Joel Dommett: Happy Idiot. The show is heading to Lighthouse, Poole for one night only on Friday 24th October 2025 as part of his national tour, which has been extended due to popular demand.
You can expect to hear glamorous tales from behind the camera (hopefully a few secrets too) and most likely less glamorous anecdotes of first-time fatherhood; I can only imagine what we might hear about that one, with Joel’s excellent story-telling comedy! The evening promises to be full of laughter from this charming, yet exhausted, happy idiot! I, for one, can’t wait to see the show.
As one of the nation’s most familiar faces on TV, Joel has become one of the UK’s most trusted and beloved presenters becoming a firm favourite in UK households, especially ours, particularly over the past few years.
Not only is Joel the presenter of the Saturday night hit The Masked Singer, the recent reboot of Survivor and the massively popular quiz show, In With a Shout, he also co-hosts the hit podcast ‘Never Have I Ever’, with his wife, Hannah. Never a dull moment in the Dommett household!
Joel Dommett: Happy Idiot is happening in the Theatre at Lighthouse, Poole, which will no doubt lend itself well to a comedy performance like this. I can practically hear the laughter echoing around the theatre already! With excellent views of the stage wherever you’re seated, comfy seats and plenty of leg room, this is a night not to be missed.
