Award-winning teacher podcasters Two Mr Ps bringing new show to Blackpool’s Grand Theatre - dates and tickets

Podcast stars The Two Mr Ps are set to bring their latest live show to Blackpool’s Grand Theatre on Saturday 13 February 2027 as part of an extended UK tour following the success of their award-winning show and a string of sold-out theatre performances.

Teaching brothers Lee and Adam Parkinson are taking Let That Be A Lesson… to audiences across the country, with 15 additional dates announced for 2026 and 2027 after strong demand for tickets. The tour follows the success of their previous live shows, which sold out venues including London's Hackney Empire.

Known for their popular education podcast, Two Mr Ps in a Podcast, the pair have built a loyal following by sharing humorous stories from the classroom and the realities of modern school life.

‘It’s an absolute cracker’

With the extended tour dates on the horizon, Lee Parkinson, ‘ICT Mr P’, said: “Every single night was packed with laughter and incredible energy. The first run reminded us that even in a profession that can feel relentless, the funny moments with children are what make teaching, and parenting, such a special job.”

Adam Parkinson, aka ‘the other Mr P’, said: "The first leg of this tour was out of this world, the response from the crowd every single night just blew us away. We want to try and give as many people the chance to see this show as we think it’s an absolute cracker, here’s to the extension!"

Anecdotes and embarrassing tales

Their live show combines personal anecdotes with funny, embarrassing and sometimes unbelievable tales submitted by teachers, parents and school staff from across the UK, with audience participation encouraged throughout.

Lee Parkinson, known as Mr P, has spent more than 17 years in primary education and was awarded an MBE for services to education in 2025. His brother Adam is a Higher Level Teaching Assistant in Manchester and is also known for his advocacy and social media content around parenting and special educational needs and disabilities.

Since launching their podcast in 2018, the duo have amassed more than seven million listens and become one of the most recognisable voices in UK education. They are also the authors of three Sunday Times bestselling books.

The Blackpool performance is expected to offer an evening of laughter and audience interaction, providing a light-hearted look at the challenges, surprises and memorable moments that come with life in education.
