Stratford East announces a series of new shows and events to celebrate its milestone 140th anniversary year. The 2025 One Nighters will bring together an electrifying mix of comedy, music, and unmissable live performances, showcasing the bold creative energy and diverse voices that define Stratford East.

The full line-up includes:

  • The Colour of Dinosaurs (Wednesday 16 – Thursday 17 April, daytime performances): Dr. Jakob Vinther, the famous paleontologist, swaps the lab for the stage alongside five musicians. Through catchy tunes and soaring stories, they explore Jakob’s roarsome discovery! The Colour of Dinosaurs brings Jakob’s extraordinary science to life and celebrates everyone’s identities, including disability, cultural identity, and our love for dinosaurs.
  • Joan: A Musical (Tuesday 15 April, 7:30pm): A dynamic one-woman show celebrating the life and legacy of Joan Littlewood, the maverick theatre director who revolutionised British theatre and was the former Artistic Director at Stratford East from 1943 – 1974.
  • An Evening of Soul Jukebox (Saturday 19 April, 7:30pm): Don’t Stop the Beat Production returns to Stratford East with their brand new An Evening of Soul Jukebox featuring Wayne Hernandez. The audience gets to decide the set list, and Wayne, with his pure velvet voice and captivating stage presence, will bring to life the timeless hits of Motown, soul, and R&B legends.
  • Sancho & Me – For One Night Only (Wednesday 14 May, 7:30pm): A performance by Paterson Joseph accompanied by Ben Park, co-creator and musical director. This part-improvised show is built around Joseph’s recent novel The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho.
  • Comedy Royalty with Rosie Jones & Sam Campbell (Thursday 15 May, 7:30pm): A night of incredible comedy featuring co-headliners and Taskmaster stars Rosie Jones and Sam Campbell. Hosted by Eshaan Akbar, the evening will also feature Sharon Wanjohi.
  • The Horse of Jenin (Friday 16 May, 7:30pm): Written and performed by Palestinian actor and comedian Alaa Shehada, The Horse of Jenin tells a universal story about the resilience that imagination brings, centring on a boy growing up in occupied Jenin.
  • Yeh Dosti: Celebrating 50 Years of Sholay (Friday 23 May, 7:30pm): An unforgettable evening celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic Bollywood film Sholay. This spectacular music and dance show will transport you back to Bollywood’s golden era.
  • Shoot from the Hip (Saturday 26 July, 7:30pm): The award-winning, internet-viral improvised comedy group returns to Stratford East. Featuring chaotic games, epic scenes, and unpredictable performances, their shows are completely unscripted and unforgettable.
