About this event

When the soaraway Sun newspaper falsely accuses Elton John, 39, of bonking rent boys, the Rocketman blasts off a whopping multi-million lawsuit… But fuming editor, Kelvin Mackenzie, 40, is unrepentant, and launches a blistering campaign of media harassment… At the end will Elton still be standing? Or will the Sun go down on him? Henry Naylor’s award-winning one-man show is based on the TRUE STORY of Britain’s largest-ever libel case, it features Ferraris, punch-ups, gangsters, bugged phone calls, Princess Diana, the Vice Squad and some Devil Dogs… Winner of the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Theatre Award and 2025 Fringe First Award. www.henrynaylor.co.uk
