British comedy royalty Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke are set to delight fans with the return of their most beloved teenage creations. The iconic duo confirmed they're bringing Kevin and Perry back to the stage in 2025 with an all-new live show that promises to capture the same hilarious teenage angst that made the characters a national treasure.
From Small Screen to Stage
The teenage misfits, originally featured in Enfield's sketch shows before getting their own film Kevin & Perry Go Large in 2000, will be resurrected for what the comedians describe as "one last hurrah." The live performance will see the permanently moody Kevin and his awkward best friend Perry navigating the challenges of modern teenage life.
Why Now After All These Years?
Speaking about the decision to revive the characters, Enfield revealed: "We thought it would be fascinating to see how these eternal teenagers would cope with today's world of social media, streaming services, and completely different social pressures."
Kathy Burke added: "The essence of being a teenager - that glorious combination of awkwardness, anger, and confusion - never really changes. We're excited to explore how Kevin and Perry would handle 2025."
What Fans Can Expect
The new show will feature:
- Classic Kevin and Perry moments of teenage rebellion
- Updated storylines reflecting modern youth culture
- Their trademark catchphrases and mannerisms
- Special guest appearances from other comedy favourites
- Interactive elements that bring the audience into their world
The production promises to blend nostalgia with fresh material, ensuring it appeals both to original fans and new audiences discovering the characters for the first time.
A Comedy Legacy Continues
Enfield and Burke have maintained their close working relationship over the decades, with both expressing particular fondness for these characters that resonated so strongly with British audiences. The original film became a cult classic, particularly known for its Ibiza club scenes and depiction of teenage holiday dreams.
Ticket details and specific venue information are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, with insiders suggesting the show will tour major UK cities before a potential West End residency.
