The man for all seasons. England’s greatest ever fast bowler. The Jimmy Anderson is returning to the stage in 2025 for an unrivalled evening of never-before stories from inside the changing room.
With 188 Tests and 700+ wickets to his name, Jimmy remains one of cricket’s most legendary figures – who’s certainly aged like a fine wine. Join him as he reflects on the soaring highs: from facing international greats such as Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar and winning the Ashes four times, to the tough lows of crushing defeats and the shock of being dropped. Jimmy will detail the highlights of this time, his final resurgence under Brendon McCullum, and ending his career with his 700th wicket, all alongside his teammates and lifelong friends on the England team.
Sharing the stage alongside Tailenders co-host and musician Felix White, the duo will also unpack some of their favourite cricketing moments in their usual alternative fashion.
Together they’ll bring sharp(ish) insights, humour and wit to untold stories, recounting their greatest (and most ridiculous) moments together. With the opportunity to ask your own questions, this is a night of cricket, camaraderie, and chaos you won’t want to miss.
