Half the city is weighing up what crisp packet to open next, but at the Playhouse in November, you’ll find Ivo Graham wrestling with a much broader question: what is the best orange thing in the world? Aperol spritz? Sunsets? Claudia Winkleman’s fringe? There’s only one way to find out, and it thankfully involves less vitamin C than you’d expect.
What’s it about?
Ivo Graham made his name as one of the most self-deprecating and quick-witted comics on the circuit. With ‘Orange Crush’, he’s bringing his trademark awkward charm back to Liverpool for a show that’s promised to be both sharply funny and oddly thought-provoking. The official line from the Everyman & Playhouse teases an hour examining orange-themed contenders for greatness – so if you’ve a soft spot for citrus or Strictly judges, you’re in for a treat.
When is it on?
It’s a classic one-nighter: Wednesday, 11 November 2026. Perfect for anyone who likes their big night out tightly scheduled. No excuses – don’t try and say you were washing your hair.
Where?
It’s all happening at the Playhouse Theatre, right in the heart of Williamson Square. Handy for a pre-show pint, and just daft enough to catch the bus without the conductor wondering.
Tickets
Tickets are £21, which might seem a tad more than your usual bag of Wotsits, but you’ll get more laughs for your money. Book officially through the Everyman & Playhouse website.
