The Worst Café in the World

Date: 1 April 2026 - 3 April 2026

Venue: The Playhouse, 5-7 Artillery Street, Derry, Derry, BT48 6RG

Big Telly's brilliantly bonkers Worst Café in the World pops up at The Playhouse this Easter! A family-friendly 45‑minute immersive comedy where nothing's on the menu, chaos is the special, and you're part of the fun.

Big Telly's Gloriously Mad Easter Pop-Up at The Playhouse, Derry

If reality TV had a lovechild with theatre, this would be it. Big Telly's brilliantly bonkers hit The Worst Café in the World lands at The Playhouse for a strictly limited Easter run: Wednesday 1 – Friday 3 April 2026.

Tickets: £10 Adults / £8 Children (Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)
Running time: 45 minutes of immersive, family-friendly craic!
Multiple performances daily – limited tables, so book early!

Step through the cracked café doors and into a world that's gloriously wrong. The chef's a disaster, the waiting staff barely lift a finger, and there isn't a crumb of food in sight (not even a latte — best eat before you arrive!).

You're the customers — flies on the wall and part of the story — as this chaotic café serves up a menu of music, mystery, magic, masks and mischief. Orders come with plenty of twists and turns: service hits glorious meltdowns, tables literally turn, and you'll be swept into a whirlwind of comedy with real heart.

The worst place to eat. The best place for Derry families to enjoy bold, fresh theatre fun this Easter!

Use code WORST5 for £5 Early Bird Special Tickets - Limited Time only!
