A Grand return for Derren Brown…The master of mind control is back and this time it’s personal!
Incredible illusionist Derren Brown will bring his smash-hit stage show ONLY HUMAN to Blackpool Grand Theatre for SIX spooky live performances in February 2026 (Tue 24 Sep to Sat 28 Feb) that have to be seen to be believed…
These highly anticipated Blackpool performances promise to be yet another mind-blowing experience from the two-time Olivier Award winner and will follow a string of sold-out shows throughout 2025 for Derren’s critically acclaimed eleventh live production.
As always, the content of Derren’s new show remains a closely guarded secret – allowing each audience member the chance to experience the surprises, twists and reveals firsthand. But as with all the magical maestro’s previous productions, ONLY HUMAN will explore the dramatic depths of shared human experience while offering a night of jaw-dropping psychological illusions, unexpected twists and deeply personal storytelling.
Derren Brown has long been hailed as one of the most innovative and thought-provoking performers in the world. He said of his latest live show ONLY HUMAN: "I’ve toured with different shows for 20 years and it’s such a joy. ONLY HUMAN seems to be going down very well, and people are keeping the show secret for which I’m very grateful. I’m delighted the show is continuing into 2026 and it’s going to be a joy to take it to places we couldn't get to this year. Try and come without knowing anything about it.”
Derren Brown began his illustrious television career in December 2000 with a series of specials entitled Mind Control that became instant ‘water cooler TV moments’ and ever since his name has been synonymous with the art of psychological manipulation. He claims he does not have magical powers or psychic ability, and neither does he ever use stooges or plants to achieve his work. The unwitting participants on his high profile projects are entirely genuine (and entirely unwitting).
Come and see the mind control master for yourself if you dare…
