Live and Dead on Stage!

For the very first time, your favourite songs and characters from the BAFTA Award-winning BBC TV series Horrible Histories will be appearing live (and dead!) on stage in a special show touring the UK from January! They will be arriving at The Bristol Beacon for three shows on 30th and 31st January 2026.

Shows are at 7pm on Friday 30th January and 11am and 3pm on Saturday 31 January 2026.

This unique show is written by the TV series’ writers Ben Ward and Claire Wetton and will be led on stage by the Horrible Histories song master Richie Webb himself, who has written all the songs from the smash-hit BBC TV series.

When William Shakespeare is asked to create the greatest show on earth, he’s already facing a tough challenge (he knows he’s good but is he that good?!) but he’s no idea how much trouble he’ll get from monstrous monarchs like Henry VIII, Queen Victoria and Boudica! Things hot up when Death appears – and now Boudica, Napoleon and Cleopatra all want to take over! Can things get any worse? Of course they can - Loo Man’s in the building too!

Featuring a live band, performing the sensational TV songs, including guest appearances from Charles II, Dick Turpin and a bunch of Vikings that we couldn’t stop barging through the stage door, this is one show you don’t want to miss! Bring your singing voices for what promises to be a truly Horrible show!
