Paul Whitehouse for Grandad in Only Fools and Horses at Bromley

Only Fools and Horses will begin its UK tour later this year, starting at Bromley’s Churchill Theatre on September 23, 2024.

Following a successful sell-out run on the West End, Only Fools and Horses will be touring across the UK from 2024 – 2025.

Paul Whitehouse said: “We had four amazing years in the West End playing to packed out houses every night, so it’s an honour to take Only Fools on the road to towns and cities up and down the country from September this year.

“I’m delighted to return to the role of Grandad once more – I’ve really missed him - and audiences will also get to see all the other hilarious characters they know and love from the television series live on stage at their local theatre. We can't wait to see you. Mange Tout! Mange Tout.”

The show will be directed by the original West End director Caroline Jay Ranger, and is based on the screenwriting of beloved scriptwriter John Sullivan, with a script and original score written by John’s son, Jim Sullivan, along with Paul Whitehouse himself.

The show will also feature 20 songs, including the show’s iconic theme that announced the arrival of new episodes on thousands of British TV screens.
