How to get tickets for Prima Facie tour starring Jodie Comer
Jodie Comer is set to return to her Olivier and Tony Award winning role in Prima Facie, with a theatre tour announced for 2026.
The acclaimed play by Suzie Miller featured Killing Eve star Comer in 2022's West End production of the one-woman show. She picked up a best actress Olivier Award for the performance, while Miller won in the best new play category.
Comer also took Prima Facie to Broadway in 2023 where she won the best actress Tony Award, and now audiences have another chance to see her powerful performance as the play gets a UK and Ireland tour.
Prima Facie's tour doesn't open until January 2026, but tickets are set to be in high demand and go on sale soon.

It will begin at Richmond Theatre in Richmond Upon Thames on Friday, 23 January 2026, and then tour to a further eight venues in Dublin, Edinburgh, Cardiff, York, Bath, Canterbury, Birmingham and Liverpool. It will continue through January, February and March, ending at the Liverpool Playhouse on Saturday, 21 March 2026.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Tuesday, 25 March 2025 when they will be available to buy here.
The one-person play features Comer as Tessa, a brilliant young barrister who has made a career from defending men accused of sexual assault.
She is at the top of her game after climbing the ladder of success from a working class background and loves nothing more than to win. But when Tessa experiences a sexual assault herself, it forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law, burden of proof and morals diverge.
On returning to the role for the Prima Facie tour, Comer said: "It is a huge privilege to return to Prima Facie for one last time and take this important play on tour across the UK and Ireland. The resonance of Suzie Miller's writing, both in London and New York, exceeded anything we could have imagined.
"I'm so thrilled to have the opportunity to get the team back together and take the production to theatres around the country, including my hometown of Liverpool. On a personal note, I can't think of a better finale to what has been such an incredible and deeply rewarding chapter in my life."
Prima Facie, which has a score composed by Self Esteem, has also had two record-breaking cinema releases from NTLive and Empire Street Productions.
Miller said: "I couldn't be more thrilled about the Prima Facie 2026 tour; this play has already achieved more than we all could have dreamed, and Jodie's commitment to the story reaching so many new venues and communities means more people can be part of the conversation, and the solution."
The play's themes are the perfect starting point to discuss the issues of assault and consent, and as the tour is announced it will also continue a partnership with charities The Schools Consent Project and Everyone's Invited.
Barrister Kate Parker set up The Schools Consent Project in 2014 which sends lawyers into schools to teach secondary school aged pupils the legal definition of consent and key sexual offences.
Soma Sara founded Everyone's Invited in 2020 after sharing her experiences of rape culture on Instagram. It quickly became a safe space for survivors to share their stories completely anonymously, and gained charity status in 2022.
It's hoped that Prima Facie's tour will spark more conversations about assault, consent and boundaries in the places that it visits in 2026.
