COCKFOSTERS returns to Southwark Playhouse this Christmas
After a sold-out three-week run in May, London’s smash hit comedy COCKFOSTERS returns to Southwark Playhouse Borough (The Large) from 4 December 2025 - 3 January 2026.
COCKFOSTERS is a “screamingly funny” (The Prickle) off-the-rails comedy about the London Underground that perfectly captures “the love-hate relationship we’ve all had with the tube” (★★★★ BroadwayWorld). It is a brilliantly surreal comedy that will change your commute forever.
Strangers James and Tori meet on the Piccadilly Line at Heathrow and travel across London on a journey they'll never forget. 1 Tube Carriage. 38 Stops. 0 Refunds.
With original music, relatable sketches and hilarious characters - this is sure to be an enter-train-ing ride of a lifetime.
Writers Hamish Clayton and Tom Woffenden said: “We're thrilled the ride continues, as the show continues to build up a head of steam. After tube-strikes threatened to ‘derail’ our run in 2024 and TFL slapped us on the wrist in 2023, we can’t imagine what train-shaped obstacle will come our way next!
“The show will be bigger, better and even more chaotic than ever and we can't wait to bring it back to Southwark Playhouse - a brilliant champion for new work. The show is thriving on a bigger platform and we’re delighted that even more passengers can share in the madness. Who knows where the next stop could be?”
Written by Tom Woffenden and Hamish Clayton (also director), COCKFOSTERS has set design by Gareth Rowntree, with lighting by Ben Sayers, and original songs by Rich Longdon and Tom Woffenden.
