Derren Brown announces major tour extension to new show Only Human

Derren Brown, hit illusionist and mentalist, has announced a major extension for his latest live show, Only Human.

The show began its circuit at the Swan Theatre in High Wycombe on Friday, 4 April 2025, and has been visiting locations across the nation across the spring and summer. It will now alight at a further 20 cities and towns in the UK and Ireland in 2026.

Brown said today: “I’ve toured with different shows for 20 years and it’s such a joy. Only Human seems to be going down very well, and people are keeping the show secret for which I’m very grateful. I’m delighted the show is continuing into 2026 and it’s going to be a joy to take it into Ireland and places we couldn’t get to this year. Try and come without knowing anything about it.”

The show is co-written by Brown, Andrew O’Connor, and Stephen Long. It is directed by O’Connor, with set design by Simon Higlett, video design by Simon Wainwright, lighting design by Charlie Morgan Jones, and sound design by Beth Duke.
