He has been Unleashed - and Simon Brodkin is heading to Peterborough

He’s the comedian who showered FIFA president Sepp Blatter with cash, handed Prime Minister Theresa May her P45, and created the smash-hit BBC comedy series Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show… and now he is coming to Peterborough.

Since pivoting to solo stand-up in 2019, the critically acclaimed Simon Brodkin is continuing his impressive run of hilarious stand-up shows, with a much-anticipated brand-new hour - Unleashed – which reaches New Theatre here in the city on November 22.

Packed with outrageous punchlines and electric crowdwork, Simon rips into broken Britain, the American Dream, religion, marriage, Genghis Khan, vape shops and wild swimmers - join Simon for a wildly funny night on his biggest ever tour!

Simon Brodkin says: “I can’t wait for my biggest ever tour! The timing feels perfect, I’ve not toured for two years so I’ve got a lot to say and my teenage kids no longer find me funny.”

Simon first rose to fame with his outrageous characters which became household names in the UK, including Lee Nelson and superstar footballer Jason Bent. Simon wrote and starred in three hugely popular BBC series of ‘Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show’ and ‘Well Funny People’. His last tour, ‘Screwed Up’ – a fearless, razor-sharp hour, rammed with hilarious observations and even funnier confessions - was a phenomenal success. Extended four times due to incredible demand, it ran for 170 dates around the world, culminating in three sold out nights at London’s Hammersmith Apollo as well as a headline-grabbing appearance at the Royal Variety Performance in front of a giggling Will & Kate.

Simon is currently breaking records on social media with his stand-up clips, averaging in excess of 50 million views across his socials every month. He has over 1m followers on Facebook and over 4m followers across all platforms, making him one of Britain’s most followed comedians.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday 24th April at simonbrodkin.com.
