Mohit Mathur to Tour UK with Solo Show DIAL 1 FOR UK in May 2026
Mohit Mathur's DIAL 1 FOR UK will feature performances in Manchester, Guildford, and other cities, with tickets available online for May 2026 shows
London-based actor and theatre-maker Mohit Mathur will bring his critically acclaimed solo show Dial 1 for UK to venues across the UK this May 2026, following a successful Edinburgh Festival Fringe run supported by the Keep It Fringe Fund.
Blending humour with urgent social commentary, Dial 1 for UK follows a call centre worker from New Delhi who arrives in Britain chasing a dream, only to find himself navigating the realities of immigration, identity, and belonging. Through a deeply personal and often witty lens, the piece explores what it means to build a life in a country that doesn't always feel like home.
Written and performed by Mathur, following its Autumn 2025 Tour, Dial 1 for UK now embarks on an extensive spring tour, visiting new cities across England.
