Joe Thomas Adds Extra Show in Silsden Due to High Demand

Remember that show about four mates trying, and failing, to get through sixth form? Of course you do. The Inbetweeners was a massive hit, and now one of its stars is heading to West Yorkshire for a special chat. The actor and comedian Joe Thomas, who famously played the lovesick Simon Cooper, is making an appearance at Silsden Town Hall. And because the first show sold out in a flash, a second date has been added. So, for anyone who missed out, there's another chance to hear some brilliant stories about the iconic sitcom.

Remembering the nation's favourite sitcom

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly two decades since The Inbetweeners first appeared on our screens. The sitcom about Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil quickly became a phenomenon across the United Kingdom. Its secret? It was just painfully, hilariously relatable. Anyone who’s ever been a teenager could see a bit of themselves or their friends in the characters’ cringey attempts to be cool. The series was packed with lines that people still quote today, making it a true modern classic.

The show's success was huge, leading to record viewing figures and two blockbuster films that took the lads on holiday, with disastrous results. This special event offers a chance to look back at what made the series so brilliant. Fans of the show can get a bit of insight into how it all came together. It’s one thing to watch the show, but hearing about it from someone who was right there in the middle of it all is something else entirely. This performance is a must for any fan of the original series.

An afternoon with Simon Cooper himself

On Saturday, 28th February 2026, Joe Thomas is stepping onto the stage at Silsden Town Hall. But he won’t be driving that awful little yellow car. Instead, the actor will be sharing stories and answering questions from the audience. This isn’t just a regular talk; it’s a chance to get some proper behind-the-scenes gossip. Think about all the classic moments – the fashion show, the disastrous trip to Thorpe Park, the rude fish – and imagine hearing what was really happening when the cameras weren’t rolling.

Joe Thomas will be talking about his favourite moments from the show and how playing Simon impacted his life. The audience will get a unique insight into his career. It’s a fantastic opportunity to hear from a brilliant comedian. But it’s not all about The Inbetweeners. Joe has been in loads of other great stuff too, and the conversation will touch on his roles in other popular shows.

• Fresh Meat
• White Gold
• Taskmaster

This event promises an afternoon of great humour and fascinating stories from one of the country's most recognisable actors. The conversation with the audience is a key part of the show, so people should come prepared with their best questions.
