The critically acclaimed stage production Inside No.9 Stage/Fright will conclude with six final shows at London's Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, from 2 to 6 January 2026. Created and performed by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, the Olivier-nominated play made its West End debut earlier this year with a sold-out 12-week run followed by a nationwide tour.
Inside No.9 Stage/Fright combines elements of comedy, drama, and the macabre, featuring well-known characters from the BBC series alongside new material. The production has received outstanding reviews, with the Mail on Sunday describing it as “absurdly entertaining. There’s simply nothing like it,” and the Financial Times calling it “wildly clever.”
Special guest stars who have appeared include Ian McKellen, Stephen Fry, David Tennant, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The last performances will take place from 2 to 6 January 2026 at Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith. Tickets go on sale at 12 noon on Thursday, 13 November via InsideNo9onStage.com.
