Dates are being updated

We're refreshing this show's booking dates. Tickets are still on sale: use the calendar or the booking button for the latest performances.

What It Is

A birthday celebration rather than a tour date. Blessed has spent sixty years being the loudest man in British acting, from Z-Cars to Flash Gordon to three attempts on Everest in his fifties and sixties, and this is an evening of him telling it.

The promoter is Fane, who run this kind of evening as conversation and anecdote rather than a scripted show.

What Tickets Cost

Most seats sit between £50 and £60, with some premium seats at £65 to £70. The cheapest seats are £41.

Who It Is For

  • Anyone who has heard him on a chat show, or seen him live, and wanted more of it. His stories are brilliant (as is his voice!).
  • People who like an evening of conversation.
  • Not for you if you want a piece of theatre. It is a talk, and the theatre lists it that way.

Know Before You Book

The format is not published, and neither is the running time or a guest list. Fane's evenings of this kind usually run to an interview and an audience question section, but the Adelphi listing does not say exactly what the format is.

Practical

Adelphi Theatre, 409-412 Strand, WC2R 0NS. Charing Cross is four to five minutes. Arrive twenty to twenty-five minutes before, because one queue on the Strand takes the whole audience.

The Stalls are the only level without stairs, and there is no lift to either Circle.

Where to Sit

The Adelphi is a wide theatre with a stage set high, holding around 1,500 across three levels.

The centre of the Stalls, rows C to L, is the pick for almost anything here. Side seats are better value than they look, because the theatre is wide, so from the side you lose the angle rather than the view.

The Dress Circle gives a clean view of the whole stage and sits further back than a Dress Circle usually does. The Upper Circle is the cheapest level and the front block is the best value in the building.

Seating for a one-night event can differ from the resident production, including whether the short front row is in. Check the plan for this date. Where to sit in the Stalls has the detail.

About This Event

Blessed's ninetieth falls in October 2026 and this is the birthday night, a month later, in a 1,500-seat West End theatre. Whatever the format turns out to be, the draw is the man.

All six of the Adelphi's one-night events fall on a Sunday, the night the resident show does not play. Our Adelphi Theatre guide lists what else is on.
