Derren Brown: Only Human at the Gaiety Theatre

What to Expect

Derren Brown brings his extraordinary brand of psychological illusion, suggestion and showmanship to the Gaiety Theatre from 12 to 16 May 2026. Only Human is his latest stage production, and if his previous tours are anything to go by, audiences can expect an evening that will challenge their assumptions about free will, perception and the workings of the human mind.

Brown has built a reputation over two decades as the most sophisticated performer in his field, blending magic, psychology, neuroscience and theatrical storytelling to create shows that are as thought-provoking as they are astonishing. Only Human promises to be his most personal show yet, exploring what it really means to be human in all our messy, contradictory glory.

Tickets for Derren Brown’s shows always sell out fast, so book early. Performances run Tuesday to Saturday at 7:30 PM with matinees on Friday and Saturday. The show is not recommended for children under 12.
