Everything you need to know, including dates and tickets.

Comedy legend Harry Enfield is set to bring his new show, Harry Enfield and No Chums, to Blackpool’s Opera House Theatre at the Winter Gardens on November 23, 2026.

The BAFTA-winning comedian will offer audiences an intimate and retrospective journey through his life and career, combining personal storytelling with classic character comedy.

Part autobiographical exploration and part comedy performance, the show promises a behind-the-scenes insight into the creation of some of Enfield’s best-loved characters, alongside reflections on British culture and society over the past four decades.

Audiences can expect to revisit familiar favourites, including Loadsamoney, Stavros, Mr Don't and working-class couple Wayne and Waynetta Slob, as Enfield reveals the real-life inspirations and personal anecdotes behind their creation.

He will also revisit memorable comedy duos, including Smashie and Nicey and the Surgeons, exploring how the characters were developed, how they evolved over time and the public reactions and cultural impact they generated.

Alongside the comedy, the show will feature sharp social commentary, touching on changing political landscapes and the complexities of modern social issues, all viewed through Enfield’s distinctive and often delightfully silly comic perspective.

Enfield is a comedian, actor, writer and director whose career began on Channel 4’s Saturday Live. He has since become involved in some of the most iconic and successful comedy shows of the past three decades.

Among his best-known creations are Wayne and Waynetta Slob, Mr Cholmondley-Warner and Kevin the Teenager.
