Sir David Jason will bring his live stage show to the Cliffs Pavilion in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, on July 10, 2026. The performance offers local residents a rare chance to see the television icon in person to hear stories from his long career.

The event, titled An Evening with Sir David Jason, will be hosted by presenter Mike Bushell in an interview-style format. The night is expected to include laughter and various accounts from the actor that have not been shared with the public before.

During the talk, Jason will discuss his famous television roles, such as Derek Del Boy Trotter in Only Fools and Horses. He is also set to share highlights from his time starring in A Touch of Frost and The Darling Buds of May.

The appearance is part of a wider tour across the country that includes stops in cities like Birmingham and Oxford. According to Trafalgar Tickets, the show will take place at the 1,657-seat venue, which serves as a main hub for entertainment in the area.

Organisers expect a large audience for the summer event as it provides a local cultural opportunity for fans of classic British television. The show is designed to be a direct and approachable evening for the community to celebrate the actor’s work.
