Oh, Mary!’s Sam Pinkleton to direct Josh Sharp in ta-da! UK premiere

Soho Theatre will present the UK debut of Josh Sharp’s solo show ta-da! in February 2026.

The production follows its run at New York’s Greenwich House Theatre and will be directed by Sam Pinkleton. The show plays in the Soho Theatre Main House from Monday 9 February to Saturday 28 February.

Sharp previously wrote, produced and starred in A24’s Dicks: The Musical, adapted from his long-running Off-Off Broadway piece created with Aaron Jackson. His new show is built around a rapid-fire sequence of slides and explores themes of identity and mortality, drawing on stories from across his life.

Sharp is an actor, writer and comedian who began performing at the Upright Citizens’ Brigade Theater in 2009. His screen work includes Search Party, The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, The Iliza Shlesinger Sketch Show, 2 Dope Queens and This Week at the Comedy Cellar.

Pinkleton’s recent credits include Oh, Mary! on Broadway (now in previews in the West End), You Will Get Sick for Roundabout and Runaways for Encores. His choreography credits include work on Here We Are at The Shed and productions on Broadway such as Macbeth, Machinal and Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812.

The production’s creative team includes set design by Meredith Ries, lighting by Cha See, co-video design by Stivo Arnoczy, magic by Skylar Fox, incidental music by Daniel Kluger and artwork and font design by Teddy Blanks for CHIPS. It is produced by Carlee Briglia and Mike Lavoie.
