A television star looked unrecoginsable as he took to Instagram to promote his new tour.
The comedian and sitcom actor announced his new tour with a video in the style of one of his most famous characters.
The stand-up and author revealed to his 2million Instagram followers that he would soon be setting off for Australia and New Zealand for a 14-date series of shows.
David Walliams made the revelation on his social media on Saturday with a tongue-in cheek video reviving his character Carol Beer whose famous catchphrase is 'Computer says no'.
The writer, 52, will head down under for September and October and the tour comes after he revealed last year that his controversial lawsuit stopped him from tapping into his sense of humour.

David first teased his news with a series of pictures of him holding his dog on Friday with the caption: 'COMPUTER SAYS NO… Tune in tomorrow!'
His carousel of snaps saw the former talent show judge don a long black wig, red glasses, and a patterned pink blouse and pull faces at his little puppy.

In a video posted the following day, David, dressed in the same costume announces in a dead-pan tone that his new tour will commence in September.
He says: 'Woohoo, one month to go until David Walliams takes to the stage in Australia.' before rolling his eyes and sighing exaggeratedly.
He captioned the video simply with a website link to tickets.

The comedian became a household name with his sketch show Little Britain with long time collaborator Matt Lucas (pictured together in costume in October 2004)
According to High Court court papers obtained by The Sun in 2023, the TV personality also revealed he was fighting 'active suicidal thoughts' and had 'lost the ability to be funny' due to fears about his comments being leaked without his consent.
But the star appears to have put the incident behind him and seems excited to step back into the spotlight.
The comedian, who became a household name with his sketch show Little Britain revealed in March that despite his and his ex-wife Lara Stone's fame, he wanted his son Alfred, 11, to have a normal life.
The actor appeared on Chris Evan's Virgin Radio Show in June and discussed his experience of parenting.

David is very private about his personal life and has said despite his and his ex-wife Lara Stone's fame, he wants his 11-year-old son Alfred (pictured) to have a normal life
The star said: 'I think back to the day he was born. And I always say to him, "The day you were born was the happiest day of my life, and every day after that has got happier and happier"'.
'You have the odd bad day, don't you, but basically it's that, because you get closer and closer and he did the sweetest thing.
David then recalled when he and his son were planning a trip to Disneyland Florida: 'So I said, "Before we go, let's have a look at the map and decide where we want to go,' and I said,"'I think you're going to have fun"'.
'And he went, 'Of course I'm going to have fun, daddy, I'm going to be with you'. It was heartbreaking
Emotional David continued: 'Heartbreaking because sometimes they say things like that and it's like they're not meaning to sort of make you weep, but they do because they're so sweet and innocent.
