Regent's Park Open Air Theatre Announce MOREoutdoor Events For 2019

Regent's Park Open Air Theatre have today announced their full programme of MOREoutdoor events to complete their 2019 season. The one-off music, comedy and film events take place on Sunday evenings during the summer.

Adam Kay - This is Going to Hurt (Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor)
Sunday, 2 June | 7.45pm (recommended ages 12+)

An absolute sell-out at the Edinburgh Fringe 2016, 2017 and 2018, Soho Theatre 2017, UK tour and West End 2018, award-winning comedian Adam Kay shares entries from his diaries as a junior doctor in this "electrifying" (Guardian) evening of stand-up and music. His accompanying book, This is Going to Hurt is a Sunday Times bestseller, and is being turned into a major BBC series.

Comedy Store Players
Sunday, 14 July | 7.45pm (recommended ages 15+)

With ingenuity and inimitable improvisational dexterity, the Comedy Store Players are back! With no idea of what you, the audience, will suggest for their sketches, skits and songs, be prepared for literally anything!

Shappi Khorsandi
Sunday, 15 September | 7.45pm

Shappi established herself as one of the country's finest comedians in 2006 with her sell out Edinburgh show, Asylum Speaker. A regular on Live At The Apollo and countless TV and radio shows - including Mock The Week, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Have I Got News For You, QI and Just a Minute, she also spent time in the jungle in I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Whilst this is Shappi's stand-up debut at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, one of her favourite things is pulling on her wellies, trudging through muddy fields, and performing at every music festival that has a comedy tent - from Glastonbury to Secret Garden Party.

Nick Mulvey
Sunday, 18 August | 7.45pm

Following his UK solo tour last autumn, singer-songwriter Nick Mulvey plays a special one-off solo show at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre this summer.

Nick says "being up there on my own has brought me closer to my fans as they own the material too and sing along with me. They are my bandmates."

On the back of his Mercury Prize nominated album First Mind, Nick released his second solo album, Wake Up Now, in September 2017, selling out shows at the Royal Albert Hall and two solo shows at Hackney EartH.

The Luna Cinema presents:
Mary Poppins Returns (sing-a-long) 2018 (U): Sunday, 25 August | 8pm
A Star is Born 2018 (15): Sunday, 1 September | 8pm

Following last year's sell out screening of The Greatest Showman, The Luna Cinema returns to the Open Air Theatre with three outstanding cinema screenings:

The long awaited sequel to Disney's musical masterpiece, Mary Poppins Returns brings the magical nanny to a whole new generation of children. It's the perfect family film to enjoy - and sing-along to - on a summers evening 'underneath the lovely London sky'. Reduced price tickets available for under 16s.

A story of love in the face of adversity, the smash hit movie musical, A Star is Born stars Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Its incredible score includes Shallow, which recently won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Monty Python's Life of Brian is back on the big screen. With a star-studded cast, including John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and the rest of the Python gang, 'always look on the bright side of life' in this hilarious British film.
