Only Fools and Horses: Mon 24 February – Sat 1 March 2025 Leeds Grand Theatre

Stick a pony in your pocket – The Trotters are back and coming to The Grand! Based on John Sullivan’s legendary television show, this critically acclaimed home-grown musical spectacular features cherished material from Britain’s best-loved TV series plus hilarious songs.

Comedy giant Paul Whitehouse is to reprise his West End starring role as the lovable Grandad in the UK and Ireland tour of the smash-hit show Only Fools and Horses: The Musical.

Joining Paul on tour will be Sam Lupton (Wicked, Little Shop of Horrors) as Del Boy and Tom Major, making his professional theatre debut, as Rodney.

Direct from a record-breaking four-year sold-out run in London’s West End, the musical visits Leeds Grand Theatre from Mon 24 February – Sat 1 March 2025.

Paul Whitehouse says: “We had four amazing years in the West End playing to packed out houses every night, so it’s an honour to take Only Fools on the road to towns and cities up and down the country from September this year. I’m delighted to return to the role of Grandad once more – I’ve really missed him - and audiences will also get to see all the other hilarious characters they know and love from the television series live on stage at their local theatre. We can't wait to see you. Mange Tout! Mange Tout!”

The production was written by Paul Whitehouse and Jim Sullivan, original creators John Sullivan's son, fully endorsed by the Sullivan estate
Based on the programme Only Fools and Horses written by John Sullivan
