An Audience with Aggers & Tuffers

Jonathan Agnew and Phil Tufnell are back on stage at the Royal Hall on Friday 19 March 2027, as part of their 2027 tour. If you've followed English cricket for any length of time, you'll know them as Aggers and Tuffers, and that's exactly how they'll be billing it: An Audience with Aggers & Tuffers.

The two come from very different corners of the game. Agnew was an international fast bowler who spent over 30 years as the senior voice of Test Match Special on BBC Radio 4, and he's built his reputation on sharp wit, a knack for a good anecdote and a proper insider's view of how things work. Tufnell, a former England spin bowler who calls himself the 'King of the Jungle', has become one of the sport's most recognisable characters and a regular on the media circuit. Together they take the conversation from the commentary box to the jungle, picking through the highs, the lows, the howlers and the heroes of English cricket, from the T20 World Cup to where the game is heading next. They've said they take no question off limits, so it's as much about the audience as it is about them.

There's a bit of a bookish side to the night too. The show draws on Agnew's 10 Moments that Shaped Modern Cricket, which tracks the game from the end of apartheid's impact through to the arrival of T20 and the IPL. It gives the whole thing a bit of a wider lens, so it's not just a trip down memory lane—it's a look at how the sport has changed over the last few decades.

It's a one-night thing here in Harrogate, with the show starting at 7:30pm and running for an hour and fifty minutes, including a twenty-minute interval. Tickets are from £32 to £53, and the venue is the Royal Hall on Ripon Road, HG1 2RD.
