The End Of The World According To Jonathan Pie

Jonathan Pie is coming to O2 Guildhall Southampton on Friday 25 September, part of a brand-new live show touring the UK. If you've come across him online, you'll know the character: the UK's angriest spoof news reporter, always on the verge of a complete meltdown while reporting on the state of the country. The show is called The End Of The World According To Jonathan Pie, and it's for ages 14 and over.

Behind the character is actor Tom Walker, who first brought Pie to life in September 2015. He became a viral hit when he famously 'lost it' outside the Houses of Parliament, and his online videos have since drawn hundreds of millions of views worldwide. Comedian Andrew Doyle began writing for the character in December 2015, and together they've built a following through live shows, television and radio work, and weekly online videos — including a response to a US election result that passed 130 million views.

This particular show finds Pie coming to terms with the state of the nation, including his own vote for Keir Starmer's Labour government, while the far right, Reform, Trump and Elon Musk pull the strings. It's billed as a helpful and hilarious guide to surviving the impending apocalypse, and it sets its satire against a backdrop of collapsing climate, the rise of AI and the threat of World War Three. If you've followed his videos, that's exactly the kind of territory he covers — the world falling apart while he tries to make sense of it all.

It's a one-night stop in Southampton, so if you want to see it, you'll need to get your tickets sorted in advance. The show starts at 19:30, with doors opening at 19:00, and it's for ages 14 and over.
