Raised by women to conquer men.

In 1974, Jimmy Connors was the greatest tennis player on Earth. In 1991, he’s getting annihilated at the US Open by his arch-nemesis’ little brother.

What happened next was one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history, when Jimmy, fuelled by ghosts of his turbulent past, winds back the clock to remind the world what happens when you rattle the cage of a geriatric tiger, one last time.

Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Adam Riches brings his critically acclaimed, smash hit one-man show to Park Theatre, following a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024.

Directed by Tom Parry (Don Rodolfo, Adam Riches and John Kearns are Ball & Boe – For Fourteen Nights Only), Jimmy is a fast-paced, funny and intensely physical ride, deep inside the mind of an ageing, swaggering alpha.

Extra shows added Thu 24 – Sat 26 Jun, 21.45.

Wed 2 Jul: Post-show Q&A

Tennis fan and host of Channel 4’s ‘The Last Leg’ Adam Hills, hosts a light-hearted conversation with the writer and performer of Jimmy Adam Riches.

Tigco in association with Park Theatre.
