Following five sold-out runs in London, hit comedy Cockfosters is returning to Southwark Playhouse Borough for its longest-ever run.
Cockfosters is playing at Southwark Playhouse Borough in London from 4 December 2025 to 3 January 2026.
The play with music is an off-the-rails, surreal comedy about the London Underground and the joys of commuting.
Strangers James and Tori meet on the Piccadilly Line at Heathrow and travel across London on a journey they’ll never forget. 1 Tube Carriage. 38 Stops. 0 Refunds.
Boasting original songs by Richard Longdon and Tom Woffenden, the show is written by Hamish Clayton and Tom Woffenden, with Clayton also directing.
The wider creative team includes set design by Gareth Rowntree and lighting design by Ben Sayers.
The show previously played at the now-closed Turbine Theatre in London.
Writers Hamish Clayton and Tom Woffenden said in a statement: “We’re thrilled the ride continues, as the show continues to build up a head of steam. After tube-strikes threatened to ‘derail’ our run in 2024 and TFL slapped us on the wrist in 2023, we can’t imagine what train-shaped obstacle will come our way next! The show will be bigger, better and even more chaotic than ever and we can’t wait to bring it back to Southwark Playhouse – a brilliant champion for new work. The show is thriving on a bigger platform and we’re delighted that even more passengers can share in the madness. Who knows where the next stop could be?”
Cockfosters is running at Southwark Playhouse Borough in London from 4 December 2025 to 3 January 2026.
