King’s Head Theatre has announced additional productions for its spring 2026 season, including a new satirical play from Rosie Holt with input from comedian Stewart Lee. The season also features a mix of comedy, drama, and musical performances that highlight diverse voices and bold storytelling.

The extra shows joining the King’s Head Theatre spring 2026 line-up include Churchill’s Urinal, a new satire starring Rosie Holt as a female Chancellor of the Exchequer determined to remove the urinal from her office en-suite. The play runs from 13 May to 6 June and incorporates additional material by Stewart Lee.

Comedy continues to feature prominently with Avalon presenting work-in-progress shows from comedians Huge Davies on 1 April and Rob Auton on 2 April. Further comic performers are set to be announced for these sessions. This follows the added demand for Luisa Omielan’s God Is A Woman: The Musical, which has extended its run with extra dates.

Earlier in the season, Loose Threads by Malachy O’Callaghan, a comedy-drama set in a nightclub’s cloakroom, examines the intertwining chaotic lives of staff and patrons. This production is scheduled for 20 March.

Summer programming includes May Day, a new queer musical by Sam Woof running from 17 to 21 June. Developed from interviews with queer and trans communities, it offers a modern fairytale perspective.

Two new plays set for earlier in the year expand the season’s range. The Sequel by Lucas Closs, directed by Imy Wyatt Corner, is a dark comedy-drama about an author returning to find her hometown has branded her with a museum and gift shop. Meanwhile, Rowling In It by Laura K Bailey, directed by Dominic Shaw and playing from 6 to 18 April, explores Bailey’s personal experience portraying JK Rowling in a controversial Edinburgh Festival Fringe show.

Sofi Berenger, executive producer and CEO of King’s Head Theatre, highlighted the season’s strong focus on female and comedic voices. She said the productions “are sharp, provocative, joyful and unafraid” with work that aims to both entertain and provoke thought.

This expansion of the King’s Head spring season demonstrates a continued commitment to presenting varied narratives through satire, comedy, and drama, reflecting current political and social themes through innovative new writing and performance.
