Book tickets to the UK tour of Fawlty Towers

Rip-roaringly funny BBC comedy Fawlty Towers is now on stage in a brilliant new production by John Cleese.

Touring the UK in 2025 and 2026, don’t miss the greatest British sitcom of all time (Radio Times) brought to life on stage in an hilarious new stage play, adapted by comedy legend – and writer and star of the original TV series – John Cleese.

Based on three episodes from the original TV series – ‘The Hotel Inspector’, ‘The Germans’ and ‘Communication Problems’, Fawlty Towers The Play features many of your favourite scenes from the unforgettable sitcom.

The show features an 18-strong cast taking on all of the iconic characters at Torquay’s most chaotic hotel, including hotel owner Basil Fawlty, his ever vigilant and bossy wife Sybil, unflappable chambermaid Polly, and trainee Spanish waiter Manuel.

Direct from a sold-out, critically acclaimed run in the West End, experience this classic comedy live on stage for some nostalgic, feel good fun!

Fawlty Tours is touring the UK from 25 September 2025 to 1 July 2026 – see tour dates, above.

In Fawlty Towers The Play, following a tip off that hotel inspectors may be visiting and eager to impress, Basil attempts to ingratiate himself with guests that he suspects are there to critique the establishment.

The situation is further plagued by a party of Germans, the deaf and dotty guest-from-hell, Mrs Richards, whose infuriating complaints prevent him from hiding a gambling win from his ever vigilant and bossy wife, Sybil.

Together they run their hotel with a little help from the unflappable Polly, and very little help at all from Manuel, the trainee waiter from Barcelona who is the butt of Fawlty’s frustration.
