Multi-award nominated comedian and actor Kieran Hodgson is bringing his highly anticipated new show ‘Voice of America’ to London’s prestigious Soho Theatre this summer, running from 16-28 June. The limited engagement marks a prime opportunity for comedy enthusiasts to include a standout cultural experience in their London travel plans.
Hodgson, a four-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and star of BBC’s hit sitcom ‘Two Doors Down’, will be engaging with current affairs for the first time in this innovative show, while still delivering the character-led personal storytelling that has earned him critical acclaim across the UK.
‘Voice of America’ was inspired by Hodgson’s experience working on the Warner Brothers superhero film ‘The Flash’, where he appeared in the opening scene as ‘Sandwich Guy’. The comedic premise revolves around producers telling the British actor that his American accent wasn’t convincing enough. This personal anecdote launches Hodgson into a broader exploration of American culture, from Trump rallies and Taylor Swift anthems to Pride marches and the January 6th Capitol events.
The Soho Theatre, located in the heart of London’s vibrant entertainment district at 21 Dean Street, offers visitors an intimate venue to experience one of Britain’s most celebrated comedy talents. With tickets starting from £18, the show represents excellent value for travellers looking to experience authentic British comedy during their London stay.
Visitors planning their summer itinerary should note that tickets go on sale at 10am on Wednesday 12th March via berksnest.com/kieran, with a presale available from 10am on 11th March. Given Hodgson’s popularity and the limited two-week run, early booking is advisable for those incorporating the show into their London travel plans.
Hodgson has garnered impressive critical acclaim, with five-star reviews from The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, and Mail on Sunday. He was recently named one of The Telegraph’s “50 funniest comedians of the 21st Century.”
Beyond his stand-up work, travellers may recognise Hodgson from his notable screen appearances in See How They Run (alongside Saoirse Ronan and Sam Rockwell), Channel 4’s satirical Prince Andrew The Musical (which he wrote and starred in), and various British television programmes.
For international visitors interested in experiencing quintessential British comedy during their travels, Hodgson—who hails from Holmfirth in Yorkshire—offers a distinctive voice in contemporary UK humour. While the initial London dates have been announced, the press release indicates that further UK and international tour dates will follow, potentially offering opportunities for travellers exploring other British cities later in the year.
Whether you’re a dedicated comedy fan or simply looking to enhance your London cultural experience this summer, Kieran Hodgson’s ‘Voice of America’ promises to deliver an insightful and entertaining evening at one of the capital’s most celebrated performance venues.
