Farmer and Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper is going on tour

The 24-year-old will be taking to the stage early in 2024 for his one-man show, The World According to Kaleb. The live theatre tour will take in 33 venues and kicks off on January 24 with a three-night run in Cheltenham - not too far from Mr Cooper's beloved Chipping Norton base.

Launching the event on social media, Mr Cooper said: "I will be travelling up and down the country, subject to passport control and map navigating - cannot wait to see as many of you as possible along the way for a great night out."

The father of two has garnered a huge fan base thanks to his appearances on the hit Amazon Prime Video show which follows the misadventures of former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson as he tries to get to grips with his Cotswold farm, Diddly Squat.

The show launched in 2021 and was an instant hit, becoming the streaming platform's most watched programme - the first episode of series two racked up an audience of 4.3 million viewers.

Following its success, Mr Cooper has also written two books, the second, The World According to Kaleb, became a Sunday Times Bestseller, and he has accrued a social media following of more than 1.9 million.

Mr Cooper, along with Mr Clarkson's advisor Charlie Ireland, were invited to attend Downing Street recently to chat to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as part of his Farm to Fork food summit. Mr Cooper said he had been 'vert honoured' to attend and was speaking 'on behalf of young farmers everywhere'. 

The theatre show will see the farmer air his views on a number of matters affecting farming today, as well as a lighter look at some of his pet peeves, including goats, sheep and of course, Mr Clarkson himself.

Audiences will be given the opportunity to participate in some rural pastimes and there will also be a chance to find out why, despite his new-found farm and celebrity status, Mr Cooper is still happiest on the farm.
