Stand-up evening in which rugby referee Nigel Owens MBE recounts stories from his life and career, followed by a live Q&A with the audience.
Nigel Owens MBE is coming to the Princess Theatre on Saturday 22 May 2027. If you've followed rugby union over the years, you'll know him as one of the game's most recognisable figures — the referee who managed to keep a dry sense of humour even when the players around him were in the heat of battle. He's the only referee to have been appointed for three consecutive Heineken Cup finals, and he's built a following on that combination of wit and fairness.
The evening runs for about two hours and twenty minutes, with an interval in the middle. The first half is Owens recounting stories from his life and career, so you'll get the view from the man in the middle rather than the one from the touchline. The second half opens it up to the audience with a live Q&A, and he's happy to be asked anything off the record, so it's your chance to put your own questions to him.
