Information

Multi-award-winning master showman Derren Brown brings his extraordinary new live show Only Human to Birmingham this June.

In this brand-new production, Derren Brown combines mind-reading, psychological illusion, and breathtaking storytelling in a way that is both deeply personal and utterly electrifying. Only Human explores what it means to be human — our perceptions, our beliefs, and the fragile line between reality and illusion.

Smart, unsettling, and wildly entertaining, this is theatre at its most compelling.

Some experiences stay with you. This one could change you.

Prepare to have your mind blown!
