Derren Brown’s new stage show Only Human will open in the West End at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue this autumn.
Following its current sell-out tour across the UK and Ireland, the production will begin performances on Saturday 10 October 2026 and run until Saturday 30 January 2027.
The press night is scheduled for 7pm on Wednesday 21 October, with a gala performance taking place the following evening on Thursday 22 October.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Thursday 23 April 2026.
Derren Brown said: “It’s a big party. Come and bring a friend.”
Only Human is written by Derren Brown, Andrew O’Connor and Stephen Long, and directed by Andrew O’Connor.
The creative team includes set designer Simon Higlett, video designer Simon Wainwright, lighting designer Charlie Morgan Jones and sound designer Beth Duke.
The production marks Derren Brown’s 11th West End show, following acclaimed runs of Showman, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Enigma, Svengali and Miracle.
His stage work has received a record-breaking five Olivier Award nominations for Best Entertainment, winning twice, and his 2017 show Secret won the New York Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience.
