🎤 Josh Widdicombe Live - Milton Keynes Theatre
Time: 19:30 - 22:30
⚠️ AGE GUIDANCE: 14+.
Likely to be swearing and adult content. Children under 14 will not be admitted.
🎤 ABOUT JOSH
By now he has almost certainly mastered the art of stand-up, either that or he has wasted the last 15 years of his life. Come along and decide for yourself. Expect it to be shorter and with lower production values than Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, but funnier and with more references to tea.
Josh co-hosts the hugely popular podcast Parenting Hell with Rob Beckett, which has somehow become so popular that they undertook a live arena tour in 2023 and released a book which topped the Sunday Times Bestseller Charts.
He’s co-hosted in over 30 series of the multi-award-winning Channel 4 series The Last Leg, is a team captain on Sky Max’s Rob Beckett’s Smart TV and co-hosts Sky’s Hold The Front Page. And he has an almost complete collection of Panini football sticker books.

Disabled toilets are available within the conservatory.
