Sam Perry and Ian Higgins of The Grade Cricketer return to the stage for the summer of 2025/26 for their funniest, most irreverent and cutting run of live shows to date. With the old foe returning to these shores, this time it’s England in their crosshairs. 

While trivial matters of morality, ethics, spirit and handshakes may well be on the agenda, TGC cuts straight to the heart of what this summer and The Ashes is really about: fear. 

Can England do the unthinkable in Australian climes and reach the summit of Test cricket and online discourse by winning away from home? Or will Australia keep their greatest rivals winless in a land girt by sea for four more years, resulting in a prize more valuable than the Urn itself: laughter? 

Billed as “the biggest series of our lives” TGC dissects the English propensity to fall in love with oneself at four-an-over, Australian bemusement, a history of death cults and who really is to blame for all of our problems? 

From the duo that have now sold out shows in five countries - and with special guests and content that can only be seen away from the prying eyes of administrators and lawyers - you won’t want to miss out on The Grade Cricketer live this Ashes summer.
