He’s the comedian who showered FIFA president Sepp Blatter with cash, handed Prime Minister Theresa May her P45, and created the smash-hit BBC comedy series Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show. And now, the critically acclaimed Simon Brodkin is continuing his impressive run of hilarious stand-up shows, with the announcement of a much-anticipated brand-new hour - Unleashed - and it's coming to Birmingham.

Blisteringly funny, Brodkin has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting stand-up comedians in the world to see live, described by The Times as ‘a prodigious talent’.

Simon first rose to fame with his outrageous characters which became household names in the UK, including ‘comedy legend’ (The Sun) Lee Nelson and superstar footballer Jason Bent. Simon wrote and starred in three hugely popular BBC series of ‘Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show’ and ‘Well Funny People’. Further TV appearances include ‘Live at the Apollo’ (BBC), ‘Sunday Night at the Palladium’ (ITV), ‘The John Bishop Christmas Show’ (BBC) and ‘Children In Need’ (BBC).

Simon is also ‘the world’s most famous blagger’ (Daily Telegraph), frequently making global headlines with his audacious stunts on the world’s most powerful people - showering FIFA boss Sepp Blatter with dollar bills, handing British Prime Minister Theresa May a P45, joining Kanye West on stage at Glastonbury Festival, and ambushing President Donald Trump on his golf course by surrounding him with ‘creatively decorated’ golf balls - provoking gasps and laughs around the world. As The Independent writes, ‘there aren’t many better comedians’.

Simon Brodkin brings Unleashed to Symphony Hall, Birmingham on Friday 11 September 2026. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 24 April here.
