Description

In this episode, Kimberley Andrews interviews playwright Tom Woffenden about the journey of his play, Cockfosters, which began as a new play and is due to open for a five week run at Southwark Playhouse this December. 

Tom shares his thoughts and advice on co-writing the play, putting it on stage for the first time, and how this led to several sell-out runs. 

Cockfosters opens on 4th December 2025

1 Tube Carriage. 38 Stops. 0 Refunds.

After five sell-out runs, London’s ★★★★★ “screamingly funny” (The Prickle) smash-hit comedy COCKFOSTERS returns to Southwark Playhouse Borough.

Strangers James and Tori meet at Heathrow and take the Piccadilly Line across London on a journey they’ll never forget. Perfectly capturing our love-hate relationship with the tube, COCKFOSTERS is a brilliantly off-the-rails comedy that will change your commute forever.

So top up your Oyster, mind the gap and hop aboard the tube journey of a lifetime!

Please note that ticket prices may change due to demand and we recommend early booking.
