BRIAN & ROGER – A Highly Offensive Play Tickets
About Brian & Roger
Brian and Roger met at a support group for recently divorced men. Roger was attending because he was genuinely grieving the loss of his marriage. Brian was instructed to attend by his solicitor if he wanted to dodge paying alimony. Roger is in need of guidance and support, which Brian willingly supplies. Both are starting again. Both are finding it hard. One of them is nice.
Described as ‘Best British comedy happening right now’ (Daily Telegraph), the original podcast Brian & Roger is written and performed by Harry Peacock and Dan Skinner. It isproduced by Marc Haynes and Joel Morris for Great Big Owl.

We can’t always have a good day. We can try to make each day better than the last though. Support groups are a great way to ensure connections with like-minded people, but what if these friendships go awry? Don’t miss the world premiere production of Brian & Roger - A Highly Offensive Play at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Book Brian & Roger tickets now.
The Brian & Roger play follows the two title characters at a support group, guiding recently divorced men through their new life chapter. Brian was told to attend by his solicitor, whereas Roger goes to meetings through this own volition. So it’s strange that Brian gives the guidance to Roger.
Two individuals — both going through the same situation — find themselves starting over again. Nothing is off limits for them, but their support for one another often ends in tragic consequences… for Roger. Taking their thoughts out on one another is done differently, and it’s highly offensive too.
