The question is, who will show up in Liverpool?

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith said:

“We have been bowled over by the success of Inside No.9 Stage / Fright at the Wyndham’s Theatre. Selling out every performance before the run started and being nominated for an Olivier Award was fantastic enough, but the nightly reaction from fans and newcomers alike has been exhilarating and quite moving. So, we are delighted to be able to bring the show to a wider audience around the country.”
