The final ever performances of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s Inside No.9 Stage/Fright have been announced. The Olivier-nominated stage production will conclude with six final shows at the Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, running 2–6 January 2026. Tickets go on sale Thursday 13 November at 12 noon at InsideNo9onStage.com.
The production debuted in the West End in January 2025 for a sold-out 12-week run before embarking on a 12-venue UK tour in September, with remaining dates in Stoke, Liverpool, Edinburgh, and Birmingham before closing on 6 December.
Nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play, Inside No.9 Stage/Fright features the signature mix of dark comedy, suspense, and theatrical twists that fans of the long-running BBC television series have come to expect. The live show has earned widespread critical acclaim, described by The Sunday Times as “dazzlingly entertaining,” and by The Mail on Sunday as “absurdly entertaining… there’s simply nothing like it.”
Joining Pemberton and Shearsmith on stage are Rebecca Bainbridge, Mark Extance, Gaby French, Miranda Hennessy, Bhav Joshi, Toby Manley, Sarah Moyle, and Sophie Suddaby, reprising their West End roles. Previous performances have featured surprise guest stars including Ian McKellen, Stephen Fry, Lenny Henry, David Tennant, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Rick Astley.
