Punch adds five more dates to its 2027 UK tour
Five more theatres have joined the 2027 UK tour of James Graham's play Punch, running the tour on into late April. WhatsOnStage reported the additions on 22 October 2026.
A tour is a run of shows at theatres outside London, with the same production moving from town to town. This one starts at Nottingham Playhouse from 25 January to 6 February 2027. That opening run was announced in March and is not one of the new dates.
The five new stops are:
- BEAM in Hertford, 23 to 27 March
- Citizens Theatre in Glasgow, 30 March to 3 April
- Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, 6 to 10 April
- Arts Theatre in Cambridge, 13 to 17 April
- Belgrade Theatre in Coventry, 20 to 24 April
The tour already had a stop at Bath Theatre Royal from 9 to 13 February, followed by Birmingham Rep from 16 to 20 February. It then goes to Chichester Festival Theatre from 23 to 27 February, Malvern Theatres from 2 to 6 March, Blackpool Grand Theatre from 9 to 13 March and Curve in Leicester from 16 to 20 March. Theatre Royal Plymouth was also named in the March announcement.
Nottingham Playhouse lists tickets for its 2027 run from £14.50. It adds a £2.50 booking fee per order. The theatre says the show runs for about 2 hours 25 minutes, including a 20-minute interval. It has also scheduled a curtain raiser event on 26 January 2027 at 6pm, the day after the opening.
For audiences in Glasgow, Dublin and Cambridge, the new dates bring the show to cities that were not on the earlier list. Anyone planning to see it should check the venue's own booking page, since dates and prices can change as a tour is confirmed. The producers keep an official tour page for the show, which is the place to look for the full, current list.
