🏛️🎾 Park Theatre is the place to be this January for ‘Jimmy’ a tennis experience with a difference (back by popular demand!) and critically acclaimed smash hit show.
Tickets are on sale here.
Following sold-out runs at both Edinburgh Festival and Park Theatre in 2025, Comedy Award winner Adam Riches brings his one-man show inspired by the original tennis bad boy Jimmy Connors back to the capital for a limited run. Transferred from Park90 to Park200 for six performances and taking place from Monday 19 to Saturday 24 January, ‘Jimmy’ at Park Theatre tickets are on sale.
★★★★ ‘The physicality and pacing are mesmeric. Jimmy has the scent of a victorious performance’
The List
In 1974, Jimmy Connors was the greatest tennis player on Earth. In 1991, he’s getting annihilated at the US Open by his arch-nemesis’ little brother.
What happened next was one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history, when Jimmy, fuelled by ghosts of his turbulent past, winds back the clock to remind the world what happens when you rattle the cage of a geriatric tiger, one last time.
Directed by Tom Parry (Don Rodolfo, Adam Riches and John Kearns are Ball & Boe – For Fourteen Nights Only), Jimmy is a fast-paced, funny and intensely physical ride, deep inside the mind of an ageing, swaggering alpha.
★★★★★ ‘Solo shows are ten a penny at the Edinburgh festival, but this feels like one in a million’
The Telegraph
★★★★ ‘Energetic, brash, incredibly well synchronised. This is a compelling hour of theatre. Highly recommended.’
One4Review
★★★★ ‘Riches embodies Connors with such muscularity, such commitment, that the play transcends the limitations of the biodrama format.’
