- Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith say: "We have been bowled over by the success of Inside No. 9: Stage/Fright"
Hit West End show Inside No. 9: Stage/Fright is to head on a tour of theatres this autumn.
Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton will bring their show to Milton Keynes, Sunderland, Canterbury, Birmingham, Manchester, Woking, Hull, Oxford, Stoke-on-Trent, Liverpool and Edinburgh between September and November 2025.
Nominated for a prestigious Olivier Award this year in the Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play category, Stage/Fright features comedic, spooky and dramatic moments as fans of the TV show have come to expect, with some familiar characters and stories mixing with brand new material. Further casting will be announced soon.
Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith say: "We have been bowled over by the success of Inside No. 9: Stage/Fright at the Wyndham's Theatre. Selling out every performance before the run started and being nominated for an Olivier Award was fantastic enough, but the nightly reaction from fans and newcomers alike has been exhilarating and really quite moving.
"So we are delighted to be able to bring the show to a wider audience around the country. The phrase 'swan-song' refers to a final performance, often associated with the ancient belief that swans sing beautifully just before their death. Which is a load of bollocks of course as all swans do is shit and honk. So come along to the swan-song tour of Inside No. 9 and see for yourselves how we bow out. There won't be a dry seat in the house."
Each performance will see a different celebrity 'hostage' perform with Steve and Reece. The West End - which ends on - has so far run included cameos from Stephen Fry, Lenny Henry, Mel Giedroyc, Matt Lucas, Michael Sheen, Tamsin Greig, Adrian Dunbar, Bob Mortimer, David Walliams, Micky Flanagan, Meera Syal, Mackenzie Crook, Emilia Fox and Rob Brydon, as well as many others. The producers add: "Which famous faces will join them on stage for the regional dates?"
Tickets for the 12 week tour go on sale at 12 noon on Wednesday 2nd April.
