Inside No.9 Stage/Fright made its West End debut in January, selling out its 12-week season at Wyndham's Theatre. The show then embarked on a 12-venue tour around the UK, which will continue to thrill audiences for the next month in Stoke, Liverpool and Edinburgh before culminating in Birmingham on 6 December, ahead of the final Hammersmith shows.
Nominated for a prestigious Olivier Award this year in the Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play category, Inside No.9 Stage/Fright features comedic, spooky and dramatic moments as fans of the BBC TV show have come to expect, with some familiar characters and stories mixing with brand new material.
The show is a stage version of their award-winning BBC television comedy show, which played its ninth and final season last year.
Joining Pemberton and Shearsmith on tour and reprising their West End roles are Rebecca Bainbridge, Mark Extance, Gaby French, Miranda Hennessy, Bhav Joshi and Toby Manley, Sarah Moyle and Sophie Suddaby. Special guest stars have included Ian McKellen, Jonathan Ross, Maureen Lipman, Lenny Henry, Stephen Fry, Rick Astley, Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Basil Brush.
Inside No.9 Stage/Fright will play at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith from 2-6 January 2026.
