CRITICALLY acclaimed comic and renowned prankster Simon Brodkin brings his brand new show Troublemaker to Southampton this week as part of a 53 date UK tour.

The brand new stand-up show, at MAST Mayflower Studios on Thursday (March 10) tackles the fact that trouble has followed him throughout his life – from primary school through medical school to lockdown homeschool.

He also explores what it’s like to be chased by Donald Trump’s bodyguards, make the police laugh while they arrest you, and be outed as a Jew by the Ku Klux Klan.

Having showered FIFA President Sepp Blatter with banknotes, upstaged Kanye West on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury, and handed Theresa May her P45 during her Conservative Party Conference speech, the celebrated comedian is out on the road.

Simon’s audacious stunts were documented in Channel 4’s Britain’s Greatest Hoaxer, which was nominated for Best Documentary at the Monte Carlo TV Festival Golden Nymph Awards 2018, and have been watched on YouTube by over 15 million people.

He performed out of character as himself for the first time in 2019, with the stand-up show 100% Simon Brodkin, which was selected by The Guardian and The Evening Standard as one of the ‘Best Comedy Shows at the Edinburgh Fringe’.

Simon previously created the irrepressible character Lee Nelson, enjoying three hugely successful BBC series. He has performed and hosted as Lee on Live at the Apollo (BBC One), Sunday Night at the Palladium (ITV), The John Bishop Christmas Show (BBC One), Children In Need (BBC One) and Channel 4’s Comedy Gala.
