What can people expect from Chris Rock's UK tour?

The 52-year-old American star, who voices Marty in the animated film Madagascar, has not toured the globe since 2008, and news of the tour caused quite a stir.

The comedian is said to be opening up about divorce from Malaak Compton-Rock, his wife of 19 years, in his stand-up venture.

If you are addicted to your phone and social media, be aware that the Grammy-winner comedian has placed a strict ban on mobile devices and cameras.

His last tours in London at the O2 Arena in London in 2008 smashed the Guinness world record for the largest audience at a live comedy show at the time.
