Little Britain Goes Live

The tour kicked off in Portsmouth where many of the audience arrived, dressed as one of the characters from the series.

Matt Lucas  brought the house down with renditions of his best-known characters, ASBO girl Vicky Pollard and slimming club host Marjorie Dawes.

David Walliams  equally delighted the audience with his unconvincing transsexual, Emily Howard and her catchphrase, "I'm a lady."

At the end of the show, the stars were treated to a standing ovation by their fans.

The tour continues for 18 months and will visit theatres all over the UK.
