The clips feature the fictional office manager performing his own original tunes, including "Spaceman Come Down" and "Freelove Freeway".
Their set will feature such popular hits as Spaceman Came Down, Slough, and Life on the Road, as well as new material.
In the original version, Spaceman Came Down's tale of racial equality is made all the more cripplingly embarrassing for his colleagues by the unexpectedly loud volume of his vocals, a method he's adopted to truly evoke the song's vehemently political message.
From 5-17 December, sofiehagen.com Freelove Freeway, Spaceman Came Down, Paris Nights – when David Brent sang those excruciating tracks in series one of The Office, none of us expected he'd be doing so again to a thousands-strong audience 15 years later – and on the back of a movie vehicle for the Wernham Hogg man to boot.

Producers are keen to create a record of Brent's back catalogue, which include 'Free Love Freeway', 'Love On The Road', 'Spaceman Came Down' and 'Ain't No Trouble', all made famous on The Office and Gervais' new You Tube series 'Learn Guitar with David Brent.' Gervais tweeted: "I can't believe I'm now getting ridiculous offers from major record deals all over the world for a David Brent album.
