Iain Stirling (Taskmaster, Love Island) has added a free matinee performance of his new stand-up show Failing Upwards at the Alexandra Palace Theatre on the 22nd November 2020 for NHS workers, ahead of his 7.45pm show on the same date which is already on general sale.

The two performances form part of Iain’s rescheduled tour as a result of the coronavirus outbreak and will be filmed for his previously announced Amazon Prime Video Special, originally set to be taped in Edinburgh. Free tickets for Iain’s postponed Edinburgh King’s Theatre gigs at 5pm and 7.30pm on the 28th March 2021 are also available for NHS staff. 

Iain Stirling said “I’m excited to announce I’ll be filming my first Special with Amazon Prime at the Alexandra Palace Theatre. As a thank you all tickets to this show will be free and available to NHS staff, whose hard work and dedication on the front line of Covid 19 to help save lives has been truly amazing.”

Free tickets are available to NHS staff through Ticketmaster and The Alexandra Palace Theatre website now

Iain’s biggest stand-up tour to date with brand-new show Failing Upwards has been rescheduled to start on 26th August 2020. Over 45 dates nationwide, Iain is set to explore topics including his inability to function in the most basic of public settings, social media’s constant pressure to “live your best life” and that one time a man stole his shoes through to 2nd May 2021. Two performances at the Alexandra Palace Theatre will be recorded for his first hour long filmed special which will be available exclusively on Prime Video in 200 countries and territories worldwide.
