Madcap comedy duo Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer have confirmed their first tour in 20 years.
The House Of Fools stars will mark 25 years of performing together with the live show, which they promised would feature "some uplifting moments ... musical moments, maybe some magic ... (and) dancing styles".
Elements from TV shows such as Vic Reeves Big Night Out and Shooting Stars will feature, with characters like Man With The Stick, The Stotts, Mulligan and O'Hare.
Reeves said: "Destiny has led us to this point in time. Now, finally, the diversion of Reeves and Mortimer can be revealed in full extent through a cornucopia of preposterous doggerel etc."
Mortimer added: "Playing in front of a living audience is where it all began for us. Some people feel most alive when they are eg on fire or in Turkey, but for us the stage is where we thrive.
"I will ensure that Vic arrives at all dates smartly dressed and unarmed. I promise not to mention football, JLS or apricots during the performances. Should you choose to attend, be warned - I will be not be wearing a toupee."
Tickets for 25 Years Of Reeves & Mortimer: The Poignant Years go on sale on Friday, with the first date at Glasgow's Clyde Auditorium on November 11.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
