- **Event Name**: Nigel Planer: "Young Once"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: “Beautifully written, deliciously evocative, funny and touching” ~ STEPHEN FRY

Nigel Planer, beloved as Neil the hippy from The Young Ones and a founding figure of the 80s alternative comedy scene, brings his memoir Young Once to life in a warm, sharply funny live show of storytelling.

From the wild early days at The Comedy Store to the chaotic brilliance of The Comic Strip Presents, Filthy Rich & Catflap, and beyond – to West End musicals and hit pop records – Nigel will share a trove of outrageous tales of the backstage chaos that shaped a generation of comedy: from 20-foot-éclair-related injuries to gatecrashing raves with Robin Williams, from Top of the Pops and Band Aid to auditioning for a stony-faced Robert De Niro.

Full of dry wit, theatrical flair, and a knack for finding humour in both disaster and triumph, don’t miss the once-young Nigel as he offers a wildly entertaining and gloriously sideways glimpse into his quietly remarkable career, in a show that is part performance, part confession, and all heart.
