The show recently ran at the Edinburgh Fringe and will be touring across the UK Autumn 2025, and now looking at slots in May 2026. It has just received successful ACE funding.
The show explores what it's like for Indian born Uday Kumar (UK) who dreams of coming to England, but how those dreams are soon realised to be somewhat of a delusion. It explores the powerful topic of immigration and offers a chance for audiences to rethink how much they may have assumed about those who hope to live in the UK.
Comment from the Writer which I think depicts the show beautifully: "Growing up in India, I always believed that moving abroad would change my life. Dial 1 for UK explores this hope shared by millions who see the West as the answer to all their problems. Yet the reality, once you arrive, is often far from the dream."
Written by and starring West End actor Mohit Mathur and directed by highly regarded creator Phil Willmot.
