King’s Head Theatre has announced additional programming for its Spring 2026 season, with tickets for all newly revealed productions now on sale. The expanded lineup includes a brand new satirical play from Chortle Award winner Rosie Holt with extra material by celebrated comedian Stewart Lee.
Rosie Holt will star in Churchill’s Urinal, running from 13 May to 6 June, playing a newly appointed female Chancellor determined to remove the urinal from her office ensuite. The decision sparks outrage when she discovers the fixture was first used by Winston Churchill, one of Britain’s most iconic political figures.
Comedy continues throughout the season with Avalon presenting new work‑in‑progress shows from leading comedians. Huge Davies performs on 1 April, followed by Rob Auton on 2 April, with further acts to be announced.
Louisa Omielan is adding extra performances of her musical God Is A Woman due to high demand. Running from Good Friday through May, the show builds on the success of her BAFTA Breakthrough‑recognised comedy specials What Would Beyonce Do?, Am I Right Ladies? and Politics for Bitches. The musical imagines a Bible rewritten through a female lens, delivered in Omielan’s trademark bold and comedic style.
Later in the season, new queer musical May Day runs from 17 to 21 June. Developed through interviews with queer and trans communities, the production tells a fantastical love story set in the waters of Hampstead Ponds, with songs by Fringe Five artist and JMK Award winner Sam Woof.
Two new plays also join the programme. The Sequel, running from 20 April to 2 May, is a dark comedy‑drama about a celebrated author returning to her hometown, now dominated by a museum dedicated to her own work. Directed by Imy Wyatt Corner, it explores themes of authorship and legacy. Meanwhile, Rowling In It, running from 6 to 18 April, sees Laura K Bailey tell the true story of performing as JK Rowling in a controversial Fringe show. Directed by Dominic Shaw, it examines fame and notoriety through a satirical lens.
For one night only on 20 March, Malachy O’Callaghan’s Loose Threads will make its London premiere. Centred on a nightclub cloakroom attendant, the show arrives following several acclaimed Fringe reviews.
Sofi Berenger, Executive Producer and CEO at King’s Head Theatre, said, “We’re incredibly proud to be championing so many brilliant female and funny voices in this season, alongside artists who are using comedy and satire to take on big political and social ideas. These shows are sharp, provocative, joyful and unafraid. Work that will make you laugh first and think later (or sometimes both at once). They are welcomed additions to our season, it’s going to be full of bold storytelling and we can’t wait to share it.”
These newly announced shows join the existing Spring Season which includes Blink (19 February to 22 March), In the Print (26 March to 3 May), Derriere On a G String (6 May to 7 June), a revival of What’s Wrong with Angry, Harry Shearer’s musical Here Comes J Edgar: The Musical, Jessica Regan’s 16 Postcodes (25 February to 8 March), and Greenwich Theatre’s America the Beautiful (9 to 21 March) by Neil LaBute.
King’s Head Theatre maintains its commitment to accessibility with Pay What You Can performances, £10 ticket allocations for every show, and additional schemes for Under 35s, KHT Artists Club members and the local N1 community.
