How do I tell you everything whilst saying nothing about the content of the show?

I’m still spooked that I unknowingly turned up to Derren Brown’s press night. Then came a job interview offer, followed by suspiciously perfect train connections on the way home. I’m not convinced someone isn’t going to appear behind me at any moment and send me into a deep sleep.

The atmosphere at the Apollo was electric. Only Human is everything you’ve seen on the telly and so, so much more.

Brown is utterly captivating on stage, with the audience hanging on his every word. And let me tell you, my jaw, along with countless others, was practically stapled to the floor throughout the show’s endless reveals.

That’s not to say I didn’t spot patterns leading to some of the answers. While the revelations still surprised me, I noticed things here and there. Whether that makes me an avid observer or a shrewd cynic intent on ruining the magic for myself, I couldn’t say.

The show is thrilling, particularly an unexpected turn of events in Act Two that comes from nowhere and delivers a powerful punch.

The ticket is worth every penny. Brown is utterly beguiling, and I defy anyone not to feel at least a little amazed.

Tight and uplifting, Only Human is a solid reminder that it’s what we do and how we live now that changes tomorrow.
