Derren Brown - Showman

Newcastle Theatre Royal

Tuesday 13 – Saturday 17 September 2022

The multi award-winning master of mind control and psychological illusion, Derren Brown, is set to make a popular return to Newcastle Theatre Royal with Showman.

As always, the content of Showman remains a closely-guarded secret but Derren has revealed: “The heart of the show is about remembering what’s important. Like how the very things that we find most isolating in life - our fears and difficulties - actually connect us. Framed with what I think will be some extraordinary demonstrations of my voodoo”.

Derren Brown is a firm favourite with Newcastle Theatre Royal audiences with previous shows – including Miracle and Underground – both playing to packed out houses in recent years.

His live shows have won Derren two prestigious Olivier Awards – for Something Wicked This Way Comes (2006) and Svengali (2012) and he has received more Olivier nominations and wins than any other one-man show in theatre history. He has played to over 1.6 million people in sold-out houses across the country and previous shows, Infamous, (2013, 2014), Miracle (2015, 2016) and Underground (2017, 2018) have also enjoyed critically acclaimed seasons in London’s West End.

In 2017 he made an award-winning US stage debut at the Atlantic Theater in New York with Derren Brown: Secret, which transferred to Broadway, enjoying a sell-out season at the Cort Theatre, New York until Jan 2020.
