Comedian Simon Brodkin bringing biggest ever stand-up tour to Northampton
“I don’t want to give an amusing TED Talk, I want people rolling in the aisles.” – Simon Brodkin
Comedian Simon Brodkin, famous for his headline-making political stunts and Lee Nelson character, is bringing his biggest stand-up tour to Northampton.
Brodkin will perform his latest show, Unleashed, at the Derngate on Friday, February 19, 2027, as part of an extensive international tour.
The comedian famously handed former Prime Minister Theresa May a P45 during a Conservative Party conference speech and showered former FIFA president Sepp Blatter with banknotes.
Since 2019, he has increasingly performed under his own name rather than through characters including Lee Nelson.
Discussing Unleashed, Brodkin said: “It’s a show full of the things that I've been finding laughable over the last year… from vape shops to Turkish barbers, wild swimmers, marriage and Genghis Khan!”
He also promises plenty of material about his family, although his children might not appreciate being the subject of his jokes.
Reflecting on his notorious stunts, Brodkin admitted he now regrets handing Theresa May her P45.
He added: “I don’t want to give an amusing TED Talk, I want people rolling in the aisles.”
