All Confirmed Dates and Show Details for the Feature Pitch: Harry Enfield and No Chums Tour 2026

Chances are, if you've watched British telly in the last thirty years, you’ve probably quoted one of his characters without even realising it. From stroppy teenagers and DJs stuck in the past to a certain plasterer who was famously loaded, the characters created by comedy legend Harry Enfield are a proper part of British culture. And now, he’s hitting the road with a brand-new show, Harry Enfield and No Chums, which is set to be a massive trip down memory lane. This isn’t just a simple stand-up gig; it’s a look back at the incredible career of a man who has made the nation laugh for decades, offering a peek behind the curtain at how his most famous faces came to be.

So what's the show all about, then?

Picture this: you're getting the inside story on some of the funniest sketches ever made, straight from the man who created them. That's the basic idea behind Harry Enfield and No Chums. The show is described as part autobiographical, part character comedy. So, one minute he might be telling a personal story about his life, and the next, one of his classic characters might just make an appearance. It's a chance to understand the mind of a comedy genius and discover the real-life inspirations that led to these bonkers creations. It’s like getting a live director’s commentary on your favourite comedy moments, filled with personal stories and reflections on just how much Britain has changed over the last forty years. The show offers a behind-the-scenes look at the whole creative process, from the first spark of an idea to performing it on screen.

A proper walk down memory lane

Let's be honest, the characters are the main event. And this tour promises to bring them back to life. Think of Loadsamoney, the Thatcher-era plasterer who became a symbol of the 80s. Or maybe Stavros, the kebab shop owner with a very unique way with words. And who could forget Wayne and Waynetta Slob, the couple who made staying on the sofa an art form? They'll all be there, in spirit at least.

Harry Enfield will be sharing anecdotes about how these characters were born, how they developed, and the massive cultural impact they had. Some of them even caused a bit of a stir back in the day, sparking public debate. It’s not just the solo acts, either. The show will also revisit some classic duos, like the wonderfully cheesy DJs Smashie and Nicey, and the hilariously over-the-top Surgeons. But it's not all just for laughs; the show is also packed with sharp social commentary. Through characters like the eternally grumpy Kevin the Teenager or the old-fashioned Mr Cholmondley-Warner, Enfield has always had a clever way of poking fun at the changing political and social landscape of the country.

More than just a comedy icon

It’s easy to just think of the silly characters, but Harry Enfield is a seriously talented bloke. He’s a BAFTA-winning comedian, actor, writer, and director. His career kicked off on Channel 4's Saturday Live, and since then, he has been a constant presence on our screens. Over the years, he has picked up a whole shelf-full of awards. He bagged a British Comedy Award back in 1998 for being the top comedy personality on BBC1 and even won one of the prestigious Silver Roses of Montreux in 1990. Many people will remember his brilliant partnership with Paul Whitehouse on the BBC1 series Harry & Paul, which earned them a BAFTA in 2009. The duo even got back together in 2023 for a special one-hour sketch show to celebrate the BBC's centenary, proving they’ve still got it. This tour is a celebration of that incredible career, giving audiences a chance to experience the man, the characters, and the stories that made him a true comedy icon.
