Flashing lights. Sticky floors. Dancing shoes.
Tommy, a young working-class Mancunian, has been accepted into Oxford. He’s the first in his family to go to uni – the first on his street in fact…
Join him on his last big night in Manchester before leaving the city he loves and disappearing South. Expect humour, heart and a night out to remember.
Praise for the 2023 Fringe production:
Broadway Baby ★★★★★
“This joyously uplifting solo show is an unfettered outpouring of humour, storytelling and characterisation from beginning to end…”
Theatre Weekly ★★★★★
“A Manchester Anthem, a rallying call in itself, leaves its audience wanting more… a Mancunian Skins for the roaring twenties…”
Binge Fringe ★★★★★
“A Manchester Anthem is a burgeoning, fresh and utterly captivating story, with some of the best storytelling I’ve ever seen on a Fringe Theatre stage. Upbeat, upstart and up-and-coming, this is a story that will find its way deep into your soul…”
West End Best Friend ★★★★★
“A moving and heartfelt story… speaks to audiences of any age, gender or background. A well deserved standing ovation from the audience this evening.”

Friday 1st August – ‘Starling’ by Gemma Whiteley play reading
Join us after the performance of A Manchester Anthem for a rehearsed reading of Gemma Whiteley’s new play Starling.
“Starling delves into a dangerous world of political unrest, increased violence and fractured communities. Three people find themselves trapped in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere, one debt to pay, one score to settle, will any make it out of this world alive.”
Gemma is a writer, director and actor based in Manchester originally from Teesside and she is yet to have her writing produced.
