Nigel Havers Talking B*ll*cks

Nigel Havers brings his razor-sharp wit and showbiz tales to The Anvil, Basingstoke, on Thursday 22 October 2026. Expect charm, chaos, and a whole lot of Talking Bllcks.

Nigel Havers, the quintessential English actor known for his suave screen presence and decades of stage and television success, is hitting the road again with his one-man show Talking Bllcks. Following the success of his first tour, Havers returns with a fresh batch of gloriously ridiculous stories, behind-the-scenes gossip, and reflections from five decades in the entertainment industry.

The Basingstoke leg of the tour lands at The Anvil on Thursday 22 October 2026 at 7:30pm, promising an evening of laughter, nostalgia, and unexpected revelations. From his breakout roles in Chariots of Fire and Empire of the Sun to his West End triumphs and pantomime escapades, Havers will guide audiences through the highs, lows, and sheer madness of showbiz life—with no slow-motion running, but plenty of charm.

Expect tales of triumph and disaster, moments of madness, and a generous helping of the titular “bllcks.” Whether you’re a lifelong fan or simply curious about the man behind the cravat, this is a rare chance to see Nigel Havers unplugged and unfiltered.
