Tim Vine: Sillypun Valley

Tim Vine brings his new show, Sillypun Valley, to the Pavilion Theatre on Wednesday 9 June 2027. It's part of a UK tour taking in 13 venues, and Worthing is one of the stops. Vine is known as 'The Man with the Golden Pun', and this show leans right into that.

He's quite open about what you're getting here: he describes it as having no message whatsoever. Sillypun Valley is built on rapid-fire puns, new drivel, daft gags, and stupid props laid out on an oblong table, with a sprinkling of musical interludes mixed in. He calls the combination 'Timmaterial'. It's exactly the kind of thing he's built his reputation on—the quick-fire one-liners and the slightly absurd props that have become his trademark.

He's not coming alone, either. John Archer is on as special guest support, so there's a full night of comedy rather than just the main act. The venue's management has quoted The Times describing the show as 'a joyous explosion', which sums up the energy better than a list of gags ever could. It's a 12+ show, so it's fine for families as long as the youngest are at least twelve.

It starts at 7:30pm and runs for 110 minutes, so you're in for nearly two hours of it. Tickets are £35, and the Pavilion Theatre is at Marine Gardens, Worthing, BN11 3PX.
