Simon Brodkin

Simon Brodkin returns with Unleashed, a no‑holds‑barred night of stand‑up from one of the UK’s most fearless comedy troublemakers. He’s the man who showered FIFA’s Sepp Blatter with cash, handed Theresa May her P45, and created the hit BBC series Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show, and he’s even sharper live.

His last tour exploded in scale, stretching to 170 dates worldwide and finishing with three sold‑out nights at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. This new show fires off outrageous punchlines, razor‑edged observations, and rapid‑fire crowd work as Simon takes aim at everything from wild swimmers and vape shops to Greta Thunberg, religion, and his wife’s friends Claire and Carl.

Expect a fast, fearless, and gloriously unfiltered evening from a comic who never plays it safe.

Suitable for: ages 14 and over

Running time: 2 hours including interval
