Review: DERREN BROWN: ONLY HUMAN, Apollo Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Oct 23, 2026

After being taken on a lengthy tour of the UK and Ireland, Only Human comes to the West End as Brown’s first appearance since 2022’s Showman, a post-pandemic show filled with highly personal insights. Its follow-up Unbelievable saw Brown remain backstage as co-creator, writer and co-director (alongside Andy Nyman and Andrew O’Connor), with Simon Lipkin and a company of actor-musicians out front. (In a neat twist, Lipkin has set up home next door to the Apollo as Dickens’s arch-pickpocket Fagin in Oliver!)

EDINBURGH 2026 Review: REMEMBER, REMEMBER!, Pleasance Dome
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 7, 2026

This might be the next Fringe hit musical. Mel Brooks marries Monty Python to give birth to the rightful heir to the throne vacated by Six. The Gunpowder Plot receives the Operation Mincemeat treatment, with a generous dash of blasphemous revisionism and plenty of scrumptious anachronisms. This irreverent comedy musical is sizzling hot fun from start to end. Stephen Fry narrates, Alex Pritchett directs. Kluane Saunders, Tom O’Kelly, Lucy Buncombe, and Ross Tomlinson write and deliver an alternative version of history, spicing it up with sass, wit, and absolute fire.
