A MIND-BOGGLING master of mind control is coming to Bournemouth next year.

Derren Brown, an award-winning master of psychological illusion, will be entertaining audiences for four nights of magic next August.

Only Human is Derren’s 19th tour.

Amongst his many previous productions are Derren Brown Showman, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Enigma, Derren Brown’s Svengali and Derren Brown: Miracle.

Derren said: ‘After a year off from touring, I am ready to start the momentous climb to putting together another show.

“I’ve just realised it’s my 11th. Each show begins with a blank canvas and the question of what I could do with a thousand or more people locked in a room with me.

“It’s exciting, very exciting.’

His shows have garnered a record-breaking five Olivier Award nominations for Best Entertainment, winning twice – the largest number of nominations and wins for one-person shows in the history of the Awards.

His 2017 show, Secret, won the New York Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and returned for a sell-out run on Broadway in 2019.

The Only Human tour comes to Bournemouth Pavilion from August 19 to August  23, 2025.
