For a limited time only we are offering fellow Gingers free tickets to James Wilson-Taylor: Ginger Is The New Black when they bring a friend. As James says; 'In Edinburgh if I had only given free tickets to gingers for a couple of days I'd go bankrupt. But in London we're still an endangered species so it should be fine. Plus if any famous gingers show up I'll buy them a beer too. Except Ed SHeeran, he can get his own round'.

Following the success of GITNB at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2016, and James' last two Edinburgh shows Bat-fan and I Need A Doctor: The Whosical, the award-winning and hugely talented James Wilson-Taylor is back at the Leicester Square Theatre with his brand new show GINGER IS THE NEW BLACK - a one man musical comedy that takes a hilarious, sideways look at the history of redheads, and how stereotyping has affected them, and society, through the ages.

But James wants a 'rebrand' and this November he's asking fellow redheads, and audiences alike, to help bring about a mini revolution, through the mediums of comedy and song. With the help of inspiring, famous gingers we know and love, like: Ed SHeeran, Ron Weasley, Prince Harry and Disney characters, James will parody his way through his chorus of appeal; pun his audience into satirical submission, whilst he gets everyone on board with his message, that Ginger really Is The New Black.

James was a semi-finalist in the 2016 Musical Comedy Awards and debut show, I Need A Doctor: The Whosical, won the MTN (Musical Theatre) Award for Best Newcomer. He has also recently written for BBC Newsjack (Radio 4 Extra).
