Stand-up show by Gary Delaney, a new UK tour date added at Derby Theatre after the January show sold out.
Gary Delaney is back at Derby Theatre on Friday 15 January 2027, with his new show Gary On Laughing. It's part of a brand new UK tour, and he's bringing it to the Main House in St Peter's Quarter. If you've seen him before, you'll know the format: he's a one-liner comic, so the jokes come fast and one after another rather than building into long stories. He describes the new set as all new jokes and what he calls "utterly splendid filth."
Delaney is well known for that one-liner style, and he's spent years refining it. Chortle has called him "one of Britain's grandmasters of the one-liner," and The Times described him as "a master craftsman." He was also a regular on BBC1's Mock the Week, so he's used to the quick-fire pace. His videos have gathered hundreds of millions of views, and he's just come off a previous run that stretched across two and a half years and 378 dates. He points out that audiences laughed a lot and kept coming back, and this new tour is the next chapter.

There's a bit of a story behind the Derby dates, too. The January show sold out, which is why a second date was added: Thursday 22 July 2027, also at 8:00pm. So if the January one is gone, you've still got the July one to go for. Both run for one hour and 40 minutes, including the interval, and carry 16+ age guidance, so keep that in mind if you're thinking of bringing anyone younger. Tickets are £30-£35 for standard seats, and both shows start at 8:00pm at Derby Theatre, 15 Theatre Walk, St Peter's Quarter, Derby DE1 2NF.
