Fresh off his successful run at the Edinburgh Festival and gearing up for his UK tour, Rob and Jack welcome Alex Hill, the writer and star of Why I Stuck a Flare Up My Arse for England, to the Clubhouse. Alex shares insights into the creative journey behind his one-man show.

A die-hard Brentford fan, Alex was inspired to write the show following the chaotic events of the Euro 2020 Final between England and Italy, most famously marked by the viral image of an England fan in Trafalgar Square with a flare in a rather... unconventional place!

Rob and Jack dive into the origins of Alex’s idea, the themes woven throughout the show, and the colourful characters who helped shape the story. They also explore Alex’s personal journey in balancing his love for both sport and theatre.

Why I Stuck a Flare Up My Arse for England is touring the UK this autumn 2024. Follow @bumflareplay on Instagram to book tickets and stay updated. Plus, they announce a special ticket GIVEAWAY for performances at The Wilton’s Music Hall in London, Somerset, Corby, Hull, and The Birmingham REP.
