Dr John Cooper Clarke - Dr. John Cooper Clarke 'Have It'

Wednesday, November 4, 2026 - The Playhouse, Whitley Bay

The Playhouse Whitley Bay hosts Dr John Cooper Clarke on 4 November 2026 as the Have It tour pushes further north after the Leeds City Varieties double. Positioned ahead of Grand Opera House York, this Whitley Bay stop shifts the focus to the north-east coast. Clarke is the sole billed performer, maintaining the tour’s theatre-style format where his spoken word takes up the entire show. The Playhouse date forms part of the November leg that leads into Irish appearances and, eventually, the final night at Queen’s Hall Edinburgh later in the month.
