The UK shows follow on from Izzard’s extended residency in New York 🎤🎟📖

Eddie Izzard has announced UK tour dates as part of their Hamlet world tour.
The comedian is set for dates across September, October and November 2025.
Here’s the full list of dates and how you can get tickets for this extraordinary performance.

Eddie Izzard is set to bring Hamlet, Shakespeare’s longest and most complex tragedy, to venues across the UK this autumn.

The tour will run from September 13 to November 5, beginning with two nights at Tunbridge Wells’ Trinity Theatre and concluding at London’s Cadogan Hall.

The play, which follows the Prince of Denmark’s quest for revenge after the murder of his father, is one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated works, exploring themes of betrayal, madness, and fate.

Izzard previously performed Hamlet during an extended residency in New York, followed by runs in Chicago, London, and Bexhill-on-Sea. Before the UK tour, she will also stage the production at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater from April 1 to 13
