OffWestEnd | The Offies

And even MORE @bbcnews coverage! 🤩 Following along from our BBC breakfast feature, check out our full #Offies2026 BBC news segment from last nights programme. Thanks to everyone for joining us for our 20th anniversary of platforming the exceptional independent work that happens OffWestEnd! The Offies 2026 Hosted by Divina de Campo 📍Central Hall, Westminster Produced by: @offwestendcom PR Partners: The Gingerbread Agency Media Partners: ChewBoy Productions / The Theatre Channel

This week, Executive Producer of the Offies Denholm Spurr was interviewed on BBC Radio London, talking not only about the upcoming awards on Monday but also his personal journey to run OffWestEnd overcoming significant adversity. On both the 20th anniversary since the foundation of OffWestEnd and his own 10th anniversary since he stopped being homeless, Denholm talks frankly about his own journey, the curative powers of theatre, the importance of recognition from institutions such as the Offies, and the excitement of our first Live Broadcast. Catch the whole programme with Shay Kaur Grewal on BBC Sounds We sold out all tickets yesterday! But we have managed to rejig the seating plan and released just 30 extra tickets.
