WELCOME
OLDREPTHEATRE.CO.UK | welcome
We are delighted to be welcoming back audiences to The Old Rep Theatre after such a
long time. We have a packed Autumn/Winter schedule featuring a number of re-scheduled
performances and some brand-new shows. We have all missed the theatre as there really is
nothing like experiencing the magic of live entertainment with an audience around you. It’s
ability to lift and entertain people even in times of difficulty is unparalleled.
This season we are delighted to announce that our Christmas spectacular this year is Alice in
Wonderland. This adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale follows the story of Alice, a young,
curious girl who follows a white rabbit down a rabbit hole and into Wonderland. There, she
encounters some of the strangest and most peculiar creatures, including the Cheshire Cat
and the Mad Hatter. With songs old and new, and a brand-new script with a talented cast of
25 performers Alice in Wonderland is set to be a spectacular experience that we hope will
be enjoyed. Come on an adventure this Christmas and remember don’t be late for this very
important date!
We have a number of performances presented by Birmingham Ormiston
Academy (BOA) including two Musical showcases and two gritty
dramas, Antigone and Boudica. We also welcome BOA
Stage and Screen Production students to our
theatre to learn new skills backstage and front of
house in the oldest repertory theatre in the country.
Other highlights this season include comedy from
Jenny Eclair, Simon Brodkin, Mark Steel and Iain
Stirling and the festive favourite A Christmas Carol.
We would like to say a big thank you to our supporters
and audience for all your support this past year. Upon
your return our Team will do our best to reassure your
safety and comfort. As Dolly Levi once said “It’s so nice to
have you back where you belong”.

Seann Walsh: Back from the Bed
Saturday 18th September, 8pm
Hello, Seann here. Did you know that the comedians have to write their own
blurb? I guess I can start with the fact I renamed the tour. Sticking with
‘Same Again?’ felt a bit triggering after the year we’ve had. So it is now
called Back from the Bed. Some of the material will be the same as I had
always planned and some of it will be new because it will be difficult
to avoid mentioning the last year in which millions of decent people
tragically lost their lives to TikTok.
The previous leg of this tour got a lot of standing ovations, which was
pleasing. Either that or they were leaving early.
As seen on The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV 2), Live At The Apollo
(BBC Two), Tonight at The London Palladium (ITV) and Celebrity
Juice (ITV 2).

Simon Brodkin: Troublemaker
Sunday 19th September, 8pm
World-famous prankster and creator of the hugely popular Lee Nelson, is back on stage
with Troublemaker, his sensational new stand-up show.
After showering Sepp Blatter with banknotes, upstaging Kanye West at Glastonbury, and
handing Theresa May her P45, the critically acclaimed comedian explores why trouble has
followed him from primary school through medical school to lockdown homeschool. And
what it’s like to be chased by Donald Trump’s bodyguards, how to make the police laugh
while they’re arresting you, and what to do when you’re outed as a Jew by the Ku Klux Klan.
Simon is one of Britain’s most loved comedians following his smash hit BBC shows Lee
Nelson’s Well Good Show & Well Funny People, Channel 4’s award-nominated Britain’s Biggest
Hoaxer and multiple TV appearances (Live at the Apollo, Sunday Night at the Palladium, The
COMEDY
John Bishop Christmas Show, Children In Need & Channel 4’s Comedy Gala).
After the success of his stand-up show 100% Simon Brodkin, selected by The Guardian

Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright
OLDREPTHEATRE.CO.UK | Comedy
Saturday 9th October, 8pm
A few years ago, it seemed unlikely that the UK would vote to leave the EU;
we had a reasonable opposition to the Tory Government; Donald Trump was
a buffoon who surely wasn’t going to beat Hillary Clinton and Mark was
living the married suburban ideal, since then it’s all gone to absolute s***!
But don’t worry as Mark thinks Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright.
Mark’s sell-out show Who Do I Think I Am, revealed his natural
father was a world backgammon champion. Now the star of
BBC Radio 4’s Mark Steel’s in Town, and newspaper columnist
of the year is touring a show which is guaranteed to make the
world seem even more mental than it is.
As seen and heard on Room 101, Have I Got News For You
(BBC One), Mark Steel’s In Town, The News Quiz (BBC
Radio 4) and QI (BBC Two). Mark has written several
acclaimed books, including: Reasons To Be Cheerful
and What’s Going On and he writes a weekly
column for The Independent.
