Derren Brown’s critically acclaimed new stage show, Only Human, has announced an extension to its nationwide tour, adding 20 new cities and towns across the UK and Ireland in 2026.
The tour, which launched in April 2025, has already captivated audiences and will now continue into the following year due to overwhelming demand.
New production photographs by Pamela Raith have also been released today, offering a glimpse into the theatrical spectacle that awaits audiences.
The multi award-winning master of mind control and psychological illusion, Derren Brown, said:
“I’ve toured with different shows for 20 years and it’s such a joy. Only Human seems to be going down very well, and people are keeping the show secret for which I’m very grateful. I’m delighted the show is continuing into 2026 and it’s going to be a joy to take it into Ireland and places we couldn’t get to this year. Try and come without knowing anything about it.”
Remaining 2025 tour dates include stops at Norwich Theatre Royal, Cliffs Pavilion Southend, Milton Keynes Theatre, Grand Theatre Leeds, Sunderland Empire, Theatre Royal Brighton, Bournemouth Pavilion, Hall for Cornwall Truro, and The Lowry Salford.
The newly announced 2026 venues include Churchill Theatre Bromley, Mayflower Theatre Southampton, Grand Theatre Blackpool, Congress Theatre Eastbourne, Alhambra Theatre Bradford, Hull New Theatre, Liverpool Empire Theatre, Marlowe Theatre Canterbury, Regent Theatre Ipswich, De Montfort Hall Leicester, Wycombe Swan, The Gaiety Theatre Dublin, Grand Opera House Belfast, Theatre Royal Plymouth, Birmingham Hippodrome, Edinburgh Playhouse, Regent Theatre Stoke-on-Trent, Stockton Globe, Lyceum Theatre Sheffield, and Royal & Derngate Northampton.
Only Human is written by Derren Brown, Andrew O’Connor and Stephen Long, and directed by Andrew O’Connor.
The creative team includes Simon Higlett (set design), Simon Wainwright (video design), Charlie Morgan Jones (lighting design), and Beth Duke (sound design). The show is recommended for ages 12 and up.
This marks Derren Brown’s 11th stage production, following acclaimed shows such as Showman, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Enigma, Svengali, and Miracle.
Brown’s productions have earned five Olivier Award nominations for Best Entertainment, winning twice – the most for any one-person show in the history of the awards. His 2017 show Secret also won the New York Drama Desk Award and enjoyed a sell-out Broadway run in 2019.
