Harry Enfield and No Chums

Harry Enfield is coming to Victoria Hall on Friday 13 November, as part of his tour Harry Enfield and No Chums. He's spent four decades at the front of British sketch and character comedy, and this show is a look back at that run. He calls himself a 'stupid idiot', but the characters he's built over the years are hard to forget: the Thatcherite 'Visionary' Loadsamoney, the fury of Kevin the Teenager, Stavros, Smashie & Nicey, and Mr You-Don't-Wanna-Do-It-Like-That.

Those characters are the core of the night. He brings them back to life on stage, so you'll see the ones you remember from his sketch work. After that, he opens the floor to the audience, who can ask him how it all works, what he's most proud of, and how he answers the question he gets asked so often: 'You wouldn't be allowed to do your stuff today, would you?'

It's not all early sketches, though. He later starred opposite Jack Whitehall as Martin, Alfie's father, in BBC Three's Bad Education, and teamed up with Paul Whitehouse for the BBC sketch show Harry & Paul. The show brings together that whole stretch of work, from the early character comedy to the later TV roles, and then lets the room in on the thinking behind it. Critics have called it a joyous evening in which his comedy still packs a punch.

The date is part of a tour running from 2 November 2026 to 18 April 2027. It starts at 7:30pm and runs for one hour and fifty minutes, including a twenty-minute interval. Tickets are £32.50 to £71.99, and the venue is Victoria Hall on Bagnall Street in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 3AD.
