Derren Brown: Only Human

Derren Brown: Only Human at Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre

Why see Derren Brown: Only Human?

Only Human

The UK's most revered mentalist and purveyor of mind-bending psychological illusions returns in 2026 with a brand new show to expand our horizons. As usual with the showman's tour announcements, the details of Only Human are under wraps, but we can promise it'll likely be a breathtaking experience you'll not soon forget.

Derren Brown first came to public attention in 2000 when he presented a series of television specials called Mind Control. Never once claiming to be a magician or to have powers, he has redefined magic for a whole new audience and is the ultimate confessed trickster. He has played Russian Roulette on live television in Jersey, convinced normal people to commit an armed robbery in the street, led the nation in a spooky live seance, predicted correct Lottery numbers, motivated a selfish man to survive a zombie apocalypse, and exposed so-called faith healers and spiritualists who con the public.
