Photos: THE WITTERING WHITEHALLS: RECOLLECTIONS MAY VARY to Tour UK March-May 2027

Michael and Hilary Whitehall will tour the UK in 2027 with a new live show, The Wittering Whitehalls: Recollections May Vary, a stage extension of their hit podcast The Wittering Whitehalls. The tour will start in Guildford on 7th March 2027 and continue with dates across the UK before concluding in Lancaster on 21st May 2027.

The show will see Michael Whitehall meander behind the scenes of his fifty years in show business, sharing stories and gossip, including a later life career as his son Jack Whitehall's sidekick on five series of their hit Netflix show Travels With My Father. He is prone to confabulation, manufacturing memories to fill in the gaps, but luckily his wife Hilary will be there as fact checker to provide details and correct any false memories, when Recollections May Vary.

Audiences can expect an evening packed with hilarious anecdotes, playful marital bickering and wonderfully unpredictable exchanges. The show promises a riotous trip down memory lane, filled with behind-the-scenes revelations, family stories and plenty of the witty husband-and-wife sparring that has made The Wittering Whitehalls such a hit. Whether you're a devoted podcast listener or simply a fan of the Whitehalls' unique brand of humour, this is billed as an unmissable chance to see the duo in action.

Michael and Hilary said: 'We can't wait to take our witterings back on the road even if our recollections may vary……….'
