Peep Show star Paul Clayton has been announced as a patron of The Hope Theatre in London.

Matthew Parker, the theatre's Artistic Director, posted on Facebook 'I'm thrilled that Paul has agreed to come on board as our patron. The wealth of experience he brings will be a huge boon to the staff and actors working at The Hope Theatre. His enthusiasm for the work we're doing and our commitment to fair pay for actors who perform at The Hope is second to none and I’m honoured to have the chair of the Actors Centre representing The Hope Theatre out there in the industry'.
