Simon Brodkin is being unleashed in Nottingham on biggest ever UK tour
He’s the comedian who showered FIFA president Sepp Blatter with cash, handed Prime Minister Theresa May her P45, and created the smash-hit BBC comedy series Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show.
And now, since pivoting to solo stand-up in 2019, the critically-acclaimed Simon Brodkin is heading out on his biggest ever UK tour – Unleashed.
And it will be coming to Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall on February 4, next year.
Packed with outrageous punchlines and electric crowdwork, Simon rips into broken Britain, the American Dream, religion, marriage, Genghis Khan, vape shops and wild swimmers.
He said: “I can’t wait for my biggest ever tour.
"The timing feels perfect, I’ve not toured for two years so I’ve got a lot to say and my teenage kids no longer find me funny.”
Simon Brodkin has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting stand-up comedians in the world to see live.
His last tour, Screwed Up was a phenomenal success, while he continuous to break records on social media with his stand-up clips, averaging in excess of 50m views across his socials every month.
He has more than a million followers on Facebook and more than four million followers across all platforms, making him one of Britain’s most followed comedians.
Simon first rose to fame with his outrageous characters which became household names in the UK, including ‘comedy legend’ Lee Nelson (a title awarded him by The Sun) and superstar footballer Jason Bent.
Simon wrote and starred in three hugely popular BBC series of Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show and Well Funny People.
Further TV appearances include Live at the Apollo (BBC), Sunday Night at the Palladium (ITV), The John Bishop Christmas Show (BBC) and Children In Need (BBC).
Simon is also ‘the world’s most famous blagger’, according to the Daily Telegraph, frequently making global headlines with his audacious stunts on the world’s most powerful people.
These have included showering ex-FIFA boss Sepp Blatter with dollar bills, handing ex-Prime Minister Theresa May a P45, joining Kanye West on stage at Glastonbury Festival and ambushing President Donald Trump on his golf course by surrounding him with ‘creatively decorated’ golf balls - provoking gasps and laughs around the world.
