I’ll be discussing the Lockdown Files with Isabel Oakeshott live on stage at the Hippodrome in Leicester Square on June 13th. Tickets are now on sale for just £25 and the doors open at 7pm (as does the bar). The show will run from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. You can purchase tickets here.
This promises to be a memorable evening. In addition to discussing Matt Hancock’s WhatsApp messages that Isabel handed to the Telegraph and which became the basis of the paper’s Lockdown Files. We’ll also be staging a series of hilarious readings from the messages with actors playing the parts of Hancock, Boris Johnson, Patrick Vallance, Chris Whitty, et al. The evening will close with a half hour audience Q&A.
We were originally planning to stage this at the Emmanuel Centre in Westminster on June 10th, but it cancelled after Matt Hancock’s people got in touch and told them they’d be profiting from stolen goods. However, those who’ve bought VIP drinks tickets or VIP dinner tickets for June 10th need not worry – the event will now take place at UnHerd’s headquarters on Old Queen Street. VIP drinks ticket holders will be welcome to have a drink with Isabel and me at UnHerd from 6pm, the show will start at 7.30pm in the first floor event space and VIP dinner ticket holders will then be invited to a three-course dinner at UnHerd’s restaurant with Isabel and me at 10pm. For those who would like to see the show on June 10th, there are still a few VIP drinks tickets available (the dinner is old out). You can purchase them here.
Those who would like to see the show at the Hippodrome on June 13th can purchase £25 tickets here. But hurry – there aren’t many left.
