Best known for his playing days and punditry, Paul Merson takes to the stage for a night of unfiltered stories, laughter, and behind-the-scenes revelations. Sharing stories and anecdotes, not just from his time on the pitch, but also from the challenges he has faced off it, including his well-documented battles with gambling and addiction.
Following the success of his BBC/Netflix documentary, this live, no-holds-barred conversation promises a raw and entertaining look at his journey. And, of course, there will be plenty of football banter, as Merson lifts the lid on life at Arsenal, Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, and England - from dressing room pranks and training ground bust-ups to iconic matches and the game’s biggest characters.
With his quick wit, charisma, and brutally honest storytelling, this is a must-see event for football fans and beyond.
A limited number of VIP tickets are available, including a meet and greet and a photo opportunity before the show.
