A pair of popular TV comedians are among the stand-out shows coming to Watford theatres during the rest of 2024.

Rob Beckett and Ed Gamble will both be bringing their stand-up tours to the town in the next few months, as well as a stage reimagination of what might have been said when two former Beatles bandmates saw each other for the last time.

With autumn drawing in and the days getting shorter, here are four shows to look forward to before 2024 is out: 

Rob Beckett

Popular TV comedian Rob Beckett is bringing his new show Giraffe to the Palace Theatre On Wednesday, November 20, at 8pm.

Beckett, known for his panel show appearances, podcast Parenting Hell, and Rob and Romesh Vs, will be touring the show internationally for 16 months and visiting everywhere “from Bromley to Brisbane”.

The show is bound to be busy as tickets have now sold out on the Palace Theatre website, but are available from third-party sellers.

Two of Us 

Two of Us imagines what was said when Paul McCartney showed up at  John Lennon’s New York apartment unannounced six years after the bitter break-up of the Beatles, in what would be the last time they ever met.

There are six chances left to catch the show at the Watford Palace Theatre before it ends on Saturday, September 31, with entrance starting at £18. 

Ed Gamble

TV star Ed Gamble will be at the Palace Theatre this autumn for a stop on his stand-up tour Hot Diggity Dog.

Described as “comedy gold” by Time Out, the Taskmaster champion promises an evening of laughs on October 10 at 7.30pm.

The Girl on the Train

The Pumphouse Theatre Company will be putting on an edition of the smash-bestseller The Girl on the Train from Monday, September 23, to Friday, September 27.

Based on the 2015 book by Paula Hawkins, the psychological thriller follows an alcoholic divorcée who becomes enraveled in a missing person investigation.

The Girl on the Train will be showing at 7.45pm every evening and tickets cost £18 on the theatre website.
